Site Characterization:

• Conducts a detailed geotechnical site investigation to characterize soil and rock conditions.
• IdentifieD geological features, fault lines, rock types, and potential geotechnical hazards.

Slope Stability Analysis:

• Evaluates the stability of open pit slopes and underground mine workings.
• Utilizes geotechnical modeling, including limit equilibrium analyses and numerical modeling techniques.

Geotechnical Design Criteria:

• Designs ground support systems, including rock bolts, mesh, and shotcrete for underground workings.
• Considers the potential for rockfalls and rockbursts.

Dewatering and Drainage:

• Evaluates groundwater conditions and designs dewatering systems to control water ingress.
• Implements drainage measures to minimize the risk of pore pressure-related failures.

Rock Mechanics Studies:

• Conducts laboratory testing and in-situ testing to determine rock mechanics properties.
• Incorporates rock mechanics data into geotechnical models for slope stability assessments.

Risk Assessment:

• Identifies geotechnical risks associated with slope failures, ground movements, and other geological hazards.
• Develops risk mitigation strategies to address potential issues during mining operations.

Geotechnical Monitoring Plan:

• Proposes a comprehensive geotechnical monitoring plan to track slope movements, groundwater levels, and other relevant parameters.
• Incorporates real-time monitoring techniques to detect early signs of instability.

Integration with Mine Planning:

• Collaborates closely with mining engineers to integrate geotechnical considerations into the mine design.
• Ensures that the mine layout and excavation sequences align with geotechnical stability requirements.

Reporting and Documentation:

• Prepares a comprehensive geotechnical feasibility study report.
• Presents findings, analyses, and design recommendations in a clear and accessible official report format for ESDM.
