Our team of geomechanics and geotechnicals specialize in design studies of slopes and underground works for different levels of a project, such as:
- Conceptual, pre-feasibility, feasibility, detailed design, construction, operations and closure.
Our main geomechanical engineering services:
- Supervision and logging of vertical and oriented Dianmantine perforations, on surface and underground works.
Surface geomechanics
- Drilling witness orientation using ACT II/III, Devicore and Televiewer (optical and acoustic) methods
- In-situ permeability tests on diamond perforations. Installation and monitoring of piezometer type instrumentation Large house and vibrating rope
- Geomechanical and structural geological mapping, inventory of geological faults
- Detail lines, geomechanical stations using the RMR76, RMR89 classification, obtaining Barton Q index, and GSI estimation
- In-situ tests on rocky outcrops and drilling witnesses: Schmidt hammer and tilt test
- On-site tests on residual soils and quaternary deposits: pocket penetrometer and vane
- Sampling of soils and rocks
- Program and execution of laboratory tests of rock and soil mechanics in certified institutions
- Field inspections for trait recognition instability
Geomechanical modeling in 3D
- 3D geomechanical properties block modeling (RMR, GSI, RQD, Barton Q, resistance).
