ITASCA is an employee-owned engineering firm that solves hydrogeological, geomechanics, and microseismological problems in many fields including the mining, civil, petroleum, waste isolation, and environmental industries.

MINEDW is a three-dimensional (3D), finite-element, groundwater flow program that was developed specifically for mining applications. MINEDW is used worldwide to design dewatering or depressurization systems, predict local and regional environmental impacts of mine dewatering, assist in the design of water-supply systems, simulate the infilling of a “pit lake” after mining ceases, and estimate pore-pressure distributions within highwalls for geotechnical design purposes. Its user friendly graphical interface with pre- and post-processing functionality provides a powerful numerical modeling environment.

Itasca Consulting Group is a service provider of geomechanical and hydrogeological simulation software and consulting services. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Itasca specializes in developing advanced numerical modeling software for the civil, mining, oil and gas, and renewable energy industries. Their expertise in rock mechanics, soil mechanics, and fluid dynamics allows them to deliver innovative solutions for complex engineering challenges. The company offers a range of software products designed to simulate the behavior of soils, rocks, and groundwater, helping clients optimize design and operation while minimizing risk.
