Geotechnics for Mining Infrastructure & Civil Engineering

Whether it's for mining or civil engineering projects, SRK have experienced professionals that can provide appropriate, cost-effective solutions for your site development. Our geotechnical team contains extensive knowledge and experience to develop clear, comprehensive sets of foundation design options, slope stability assessments or hazard evaluations.  Geotechnical challenges that could influence the development of your site can include the geological regime (hard rock, soft rock, karst conditions), ground conditions (residual soils, glacial soils, permafrost), seismicity, climate (precipitation, seasonal temperature variation), topography, remoteness and ease of access. Additional challenges can originate from your particular requirements, such as vibrating mill foundations, and the limited tolerance for movement/settlement for key equipment.
 

Our services include:

 

For projects in remote parts of the world, our regional experts can ensure that local challenges are understood and overcome. These may include collapsible soils, expansive soils and karst conditions. Our cold climate experts can provide specialist input into infrastructure and foundation designs in permafrost conditions. With our widespread geographical footprint, we can provide the appropriate expert to resolve the challenges on your particular project.
