Engineering-Geological Services
Engineering geology and geotechnics play a crucial role in the development of mineral deposits, the construction of hydraulic structures, and other major engineering projects. These disciplines provide a comprehensive study of geological and hydrogeological conditions, physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks, as well as the identification of risks associated with changes in these conditions during the operation of facilities.
Our services include:
- Study and assessment of changes in hydrogeological and engineering-geological conditions of objects
Assessment of conditions at mineral deposits, during the construction of hydraulic structures and other facilities, including changes in water and geological characteristics.
- Research to substantiate the mining and technical conditions for the operation of mineral deposits
Assessment of mining and technical parameters that allow for safe and efficient development of mineral deposits.
- Study of the features of changes in the physical and mechanical properties of rocks during the stability of underground mine workings
Analysis of changes in rock properties and their impact on the stability of mine workings.
- Field and laboratory studies to determine the composition and properties of soils, rocks, and groundwater
Comprehensive research aimed at determining the physicochemical properties of soils and rocks, as well as hydrogeological conditions.
- Strength, compressibility, and other soil characteristics tests
Assessment of soil behavior under load, including strength, water permeability, and compressibility tests.
- Study of the deformation of quarry sides and assessment of their development during the development of ore deposits
Assessment of quarry stability, study of deformations, and development of recommendations for preventing emergency situations.
- Assessment of landslide hazard in developed territories
Analysis of landslide hazards in areas where construction work is being carried out or deposits are being developed.
- Identification of potential areas for possible development of natural landslides
Assessment of landslide-prone areas and development of protective measures.
- Studying the factors influencing the occurrence of landslide phenomena in mines
Study of factors contributing to landslides in mines to prevent destruction and ensure safety.
- Determination of the physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks
