Quarries and Mines
Applied geology for safe and efficient quarrying, mining and underground excavation.
Geological Surveying, Resource Assessment and Quarry Evaluation
This service combines field expertise, engineering analysis and clear technical documentation. For quarries and mines, GEOALPS defines the relevant questions, selects proportionate methods and converts the results into practical recommendations. The work is coordinated with clients, authorities and other designers from the initial assessment through implementation. Depending on the assignment, the work may use or refer to Trimble SX10.
Geotechnical Engineering and Stability of Excavations and Tunnels
This service combines field expertise, engineering analysis and clear technical documentation. For quarries and mines, GEOALPS defines the relevant questions, selects proportionate methods and converts the results into practical recommendations. The work is coordinated with clients, authorities and other designers from the initial assessment through implementation. Depending on the assignment, the work may use or refer to Slide2, RS2, FEM.
Hazards, Risk Analysis and Mitigation
We identify credible scenarios, quantify their intensity and probability, and assess the exposure and vulnerability of the affected people, structures and infrastructure. The resulting hazard or risk assessment provides a transparent basis for zoning, emergency planning, prioritisation of measures and cost-benefit decisions. Residual risks and uncertainties are stated explicitly. Depending on the assignment, the work may use or refer to RockyFor3D, RocFall, UFAM.
Construction Supervision and Structural Monitoring
We define the parameters, instruments, measurement intervals and data workflows needed for effective quarries and mines. Measurements are checked, visualised and compared with project-specific alarm thresholds. Where required, automated notifications and a 24/7 on-call procedure provide rapid escalation and a documented basis for operational decisions. Depending on the assignment, the work may use or refer to SIA 52.
