GEOTECHNICS
We operate across South Africa and internationally, providing specialist expertise in ground engineering for complex mining, infrastructure, and environmental projects. We focus on thorough, high-quality investigations to ensure accurate and practical geotechnical recommendations while optimising cost efficiency.
We offer a comprehensive range of geotechnical services tailored to mining, civil infrastructure, water, and environmental projects:
- Mining Infrastructure: Investigations for dams, tailings storage facilities, borrow pits, heavy plant structures, and construction materials including aggregates, rockfill, and bulk fill.
- Rock Engineering & Slope Stability: Open pit slope analyses, rockmass characterisation, and support recommendations, with cost-efficient drilling programme in line with international standards.
- Dam & Water Projects: Investigations for Category I–III dams, including grout curtains, cut-off drains, foundation solutions, embankment optimisation, and borrow pit evaluations.
- Dolomite Stability: Feasibility to design-level assessments for TSFs, plant infrastructure, and commercial developments.
- Renewable Energy & Power: Geotechnical investigations, stability and settlement assessments for solar farms, wind turbines, and electrical infrastructure.
- Linear Infrastructure: Support for roads, railways, pipelines, and trenching, including stability and excavatability recommendations.
