Our geotechnical expertise improves safety and performance, and reduces the risks associated with shaft excavation. Our shaft specialists have assessed over 50km of shafts from 0.9m to 12m diameter, with depths up to 1400m.
The greatest unknowns in any shaft excavation program, and those which are likely to have the most dramatic effect on performance and cost are the geotechnical and hydrological conditions in the region of the shaft. We tailor our shaft engineering evaluations to suit our client’s requirements, from scoping studies through to detailed design and construction documentation.
Our shaft engineering team have worked for both mine owners and shaft excavation contractors. Our on-ground experience in the excavation phase of shaft projects has enabled us to refine our shaft assessment and design capabilities.
