Rock mechanics

We provide specialized rock mechanics services to ensure the stability, safety and efficiency of mining operations, both open-pit and underground.
Our studies combine an in-depth understanding of rock mass behavior with advanced modeling tools to optimize the design of slopes, support, and mining infrastructure.

Geomechanical characterization: collection and analysis of geological data, laboratory and field tests to define the mechanical properties of rocks and discontinuities.

Modeling and stability analysis: 2D and 3D digital simulations (FLAC, RS2, etc.) to assess the stability of slopes, galleries, pillars and excavations, integrating natural and induced constraints.

Design of supports: definition of the types and densities of supports (bolts, cables, mesh, shotcrete, etc.) according to geotechnical conditions and operational requirements.

Geotechnical risk management: identification and assessment of risk areas, planning of control measures and recommendations for monitoring and maintenance.

Monitoring and instrumentation: design and implementation of geotechnical monitoring systems (inclinometers, extensometers, radars, LIDAR) to ensure continuous stability monitoring.

Operational optimization: integration of geomechanical results into mine design and planning to improve productivity, safety and excavation life.
