GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES

Site Investigations

  1. Detailed Investigation: We conduct comprehensive site investigations to understand subsurface conditions, including soil, rock, and groundwater characteristics.
  2. Sampling and Testing: We utilize various sampling techniques and laboratory testing to analyze soil and rock properties to ensure accurate data for design and construction.
  3. Geological Mapping: We produce detailed geological maps and cross-sections to visualize subsurface conditions and guide engineering decisions.

Geotechnical Modelling

  1. Numerical Modeling: We utilize advanced software to create geotechnical models that simulate ground behavior under various conditions.
  2. Risk Assessment: Assess potential risks such as ground movement, subsidence, and stability issues.
  3. Design Optimization: We offer recommendations to optimize designs and mitigate potential geotechnical challenges.

Slope Stability Analysis

  1. Stability Assessments: We analyze the stability of slopes and embankments to prevent failures and ensure safety.
  2. Remedial Measures: We recommend ground stabilization techniques such as retaining walls, soil nails, anchors, etc.
  3. Monitoring: We install monitoring systems (e.g., slope radar, geophones) to track slope movement and stability over time.

Ground Control and Support Design

  1. Stability Analysis: Analyze ground stability to determine appropriate control measures and support systems.
  2. Underground Support Systems:
  • We conduct rock mechanics studies to understand rock behavior and design effective support systems.
  • Designing systems like rock bolts, shotcrete, and mesh to ensure underground mine stability.
  1. Seismicity and Ground Monitoring: We install systems to detect and manage seismic activity in mining environments.

Mine Design and Planning

  1. Pit Design: Develop optimal pit designs considering geology, economics, and safety.
  2. Underground Layouts: We plan and design underground mine layouts, including access drives, stops, and ore handling systems.
  3. Operational Planning: We provide recommendations for mine scheduling, equipment selection, and resource management.
