Geotechnical Services
Geotechnical studies play a critical role in the processes of mineral exploration and development. These studies enable the safe and efficient operation of mines by analyzing the geographical, geological, and geotechnical characteristics of potential mineral deposits.
Our Approach
Geotechnical Assurance, Mining Confidence
Geotechnical investigations provide essential data for ensuring the stability of underground formations, assessing soil conditions, determining rock strength, and understanding water movements — all of which are crucial for the safety and sustainability of mining operations. At CAKA Mining, we offer our clients a comprehensive range of solutions provided by our expert team and trusted solution partners.
Solution Partner
Our geotechnical services are delivered in partnership with INR — a specialized engineering consultancy with deep expertise in geological, geotechnical and hydraulic engineering. Together, we provide integrated and reliable geotechnical solutions for mining projects.
What We Offer
Our Geotechnical Services
Non-process Structural Design
Structural design for non-process infrastructure including offices, maintenance facilities and surface structures within mining operations.
Underground Support Design
Design of underground ground support systems including rock bolts, shotcrete, cable bolts and steel sets to ensure safe underground mining operations.
Open Pit Slope Stability
Comprehensive slope stability analysis for open pit operations using limit equilibrium and numerical modelling methods to optimize pit wall designs.
TSF, Waste Rock, Heap Leach
Geotechnical design and assessment of tailings storage facilities, waste rock dumps and heap leach pads ensuring stability and environmental compliance.
Geotechnical Modelling (3D Supported)
3D geotechnical modelling integrating borehole data, laboratory results and field observations to create comprehensive subsurface models for engineering design.
Rockmass Characterization
Systematic rockmass classification using RMR, Q-system and GSI methodologies to characterize rock quality and support geotechnical design decisions.
Geotechnical Risk Analysis
Systematic identification, assessment and management of geotechnical risks to protect personnel, assets and the environment throughout the mining lifecycle.
Surface Water Management
Design and management of surface water control systems including diversions, drainage channels and catchment management to protect mining operations.
Supporting PFS
Geotechnical input and reporting to support Pre-Feasibility Studies, providing the technical basis for project development decisions.
Optic & Acoustic Televiewer
Borehole optical and acoustic televiewer surveys to provide high-resolution images of borehole walls for structural mapping and geotechnical characterization.
Oriented Core Logging
Specialized oriented core logging to capture structural orientations including bedding, foliation, faults and veins for geotechnical and structural interpretation.
