DOSSIER 04 / 08, Rock Mass Integrity & Underground Void Stability
Geotechnical Projects
Case Assessment
Deep-level extraction pushes rock masses to their mechanical limits. This practice quantifies rock mass integrity, seismicity risk and void stability for underground workings and highwall open pits.
Deliverables range from rockburst hazard zoning and acoustic-emission sensor calibration to cable-bolt anchoring designs and slope stability modelling that keep personnel safe and production uninterrupted.
Methodology
- 01Rock mass classification (RMR, Q-system, GSI)
- 02Kinematic slope stability and highwall design analysis
- 03Rockburst hazard zoning and seismicity mitigation
- 04Cable-bolt and ground-support anchoring design
- 05Acoustic emission / microseismic sensor calibration
Notable Engagements
Rockburst hazard zoning at deep-level gold operations; Kimberley pipe perimeter containment engineering.
