One of the major challenges, that deep underground mines are facing, is the mining induced seismicity. This phenomenon can be triggered by several reasons such as blasting, fault slipping, rockmass fracturing etc. Currently, it is not possible to predict accurately where and when a damaging seismic event might occur. However, with seismic monitoring, numerical modelling, stress and ground control the possibility and effects of the seismic occurrence can be reduced to a tolerable level. Our geotechnical and geomechanical consultants are competent professionals who are informed on the current theories, practices and developments in the field of rock dynamics and can offer invaluable insight regarding the control of these phenomena.
