Geotechnical design is undertaken to complement wider studies and support operational planning. AG looks to work in a collaborative manner wherever possible, in order to ensure clients needs are front and foremost. The importance of working with other related disciplines at the early phase of studies is recognised, as is ensuring that the results of the geotechnical assessment can be implemented, and readily adopted by the study team.
Areas of expertise include:
- Geotechnical assessment of open pits from scoping to feasibility study levels
- Incorporation of resource definition data and QA/QC
- Rock mass characterisation
- Structural characterisation
- Slope stability analysis and optimisation
- Waste dump design
- Rockfall analysis and mitigation
- Hazard identification and risk assessment
