Mining geotechnics

We provide specialized mining geotechnical services to ensure the stability, safety and efficiency of both open pit and underground operations, combining rock mass analysis with advanced modelling tools.

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 numerical modelling (FLAC, RS2, etc.) to assess the stability of slopes, drifts, pillars and excavations, accounting for in-situ and induced stresses.

Ground support design: 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.

Compliance: geotechnical parameters documented and justified for NI 43-101, JORC and S-K 1300 studies.
