Underground stability is crucial for the sustainability of an underground mining operation. The underground mine design from a rock mechanics perspective is one of the most important processes in mine planning. Underground mine stability analysis requires the collection and interpretation of a plethora of data such as the geological structure, the rock mass properties, the stress regime, the ground water conditions and the effects of dynamic phenomena. The approaches for analyzing the stability of an underground work are based on empirical, analytical and numerical solutions. Our geotechnical engineering department consists of engineers highly knowledgeable and extensively experienced in every underground method in soft & hard rock. Innovative software tools for numerical modelling and implementation of a wide spectrum of numerical approaches, help us conduct state of the art underground stability analyses in the most complex geotechnical conditions.
