We provide innovative geotechnical solutions for mines worldwide, focusing on effective geotechnical risk assessment, robust ground control management plans, and comprehensive catastrophic hazard management strategies.
Global Geotechnical Services provides essential geotechnical services to the mining industry, focusing on high-end review, auditing, and technical assurance services. The company specializes in geotechnical risk assessment and offers mining geotechnical engineers for technical support, including rock mass assessment and classification, ground support design, and the development of comprehensive ground control management plans. Global Geotechnical Services delivers bespoke solutions while closely collaborating with clients to ensure engineering excellence and effective catastrophic hazard management.
We use our in depth knowledge and experience to support catastrophic hazard management related to ground/strata failure and inrush & outburst. We apply guidelines developed by leading organisations such as the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM).
We offer High Impact Function (HIF) Audits, evaluating the appropriateness of Ground Control Management Plans (GCMP) and their implementation.
A typical scope of work for an HIF Audit is outlined below:
Our mining geotechnical engineers have vast experience in developing and implementing Ground Control Management Plans. We base the development on knowledge that we have gained across North America, South America, Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. We have experience in multiple commodities using various surface and underground mining methods.
We use leading practice such as Workplace Risk Assessment and Control (WRAC) and bowtie methodologies to assess geotechnical risk and evaluate effectiveness of controls. We are able to advise on the various stages of catastrophic hazard management, including identification of critical controls, development of performance standards, critical control verification, and reporting.
We offer rock mechanics services including rock mass assessment and ground support design using leading industry practice.
