Geotechnical analysis and modeling
2D/3D static and dynamic stability, tailings dam breach, liquefaction, consolidation and seismic response for civil and mining facilities.
We design and optimize solutions that are practical, cost-effective and compliant with national and international standards, using limit equilibrium analysis and numerical modeling.
Service scope
Foundations and physical stability
- Geotechnical analyses for foundations of civil and mining facilities: plants, crushers, mills, thickeners, ancillary facilities, bridges, buildings and roads.
- Physical stability analysis of leach pads, tailings dams, water dams, waste rock dumps and unsuitable or organic material stockpiles.
- 2D and 3D limit equilibrium slope stability analysis.
- Stability analysis of soil/geosynthetic interfaces.
- Stabilization solutions for leach pads, waste rock dumps and tailings dams.
Numerical and dynamic modeling
- Numerical modeling of structures and geotechnical problems to assess stability and deformations.
- 2D finite element analysis of shallow and deep foundations.
- Uncoupled and coupled 2D dynamic analysis of leach pads, waste rock dumps, water dams, tailings dams, reinforced soil walls and tunnels.
- 1D site response analysis using equivalent linear and nonlinear methods.
- Large-strain self-weight consolidation analysis of tailings deposits.
Tailings, liquefaction and reinforcement works
- Tailings dam breach analysis through hydrodynamic modeling of failure scenarios, inundation mapping and technical support for consequence assessment and Emergency Action Plans (EAP).
- Seepage analysis of earth and tailings dams.
- Liquefaction potential assessment of natural soils, tailings and heap leach ore, including sensitivity and cost-benefit analyses.
- Design and analysis of reinforced soil walls, gabion walls and anchored reinforcement.
- Geosynthetics design and analysis.
