Geotechnical engineering services related to the mine engineering:
- Feasibility, exploration and potential of minerals consulting services. investigation, research and exploration planning, preparation of exploration plans and conducting exploration investigations, presenting mineral geological maps and management of mine exploration projects including initial studies, identification and remote sensing, preparing economic geological maps, preparing topographic maps, geo-chemical studies, integrating data and preparing geo-databases, technical and financial studies.
- Preparing a three-dimensional model of discontinuities
- Evaluation of geo-mechanical properties of rock according to the observation and laboratory tests
- Preparation of geotechnical log
- Kinematic analysis of slope stability
- Geotechnical zoning of the mine
- Analyzing the stability of mine slopes .
- Conducting geotechnical tests for the case of mine engineering including chemical tests, direct shear tests (laboratory and in-situ) on any types of soil and materials, preparation of mix design (evaluation of particle size distribution, Etterberg limits, shrinkage limit, density and permeability tests for any mixture of mineral materials) measuring the electrical resistance of the soil and calculating the thermal sensitivity of the soil at different depths
- Conducting mechanical tests of mine rocks including the joint groups of the rock and RQD logging, determining the compressive strength and stiffness of the rock using the Schmidt hammer, determining the class and classification of soil and rock, determining the stone parameters (bulk modulus, dry and saturated density, RMR stone classification, determination of stone durability, uniaxial strength, moisture content, elastic modulus, poison ratio, conducting dry and saturated triaxial tests, ISRM)
