Mining

Geo-Design specialise in the rock engineering aspects of civil infrastructure that support mining operations. Our expertise includes design and assessment of deep shafts, insets, and access-ways, ensuring safe and efficient underground connection for mining activities.

We also provide solutions for quarry slope stability and mine rehabilitation, helping clients manage environmental impacts and return sites to safe, sustainable conditions.

• Operational Mines
  By focusing on the geotechnical challenges associated with mining-related civil works, we produce practical, economic designs that support operational efficiency while addressing regulatory and environmental requirements.
• Mine Rehabilitation
  There is a long mining heritage in the UK and other parts of the world which has left abandoned mine workings, often in urban areas. Geo-Design have worked on a number of schemes to assess the intrinsic stability of historical mines and develop schemes to stabilize the openings and even facilitate public access.
• Historical Quarry Slopes
  Historical quarries are prime locations for development but the surrounding slopes often present rock fall and stability hazards, which we are often called upon to assess and give advice for.
