Secure energy systems require future-proof rock engineering solutions. Our expertise is central to enabling reliable schemes that are critical for the energy transition including hydrogen storage, pumped hydro, and geological disposal facilities (GDFs) for nuclear waste.
Discover MoreWe apply our rock engineering expertise to support critical water infrastructure. Our involvement spans hydroelectric power generation, pumped hydro storage schemes, water transfer tunnels and deep stormwater shafts and tunnels. Each demands reliable performance in complex geological conditions with unique load cases.
Discover MoreWe specialise in the rock engineering aspects of civil infrastructure that support mining operations. Our expertise includes design and assessment of deep shafts, insets, high slopes and access-ways, ensuring safe and efficient underground connection for mining activities.
Discover MoreOur experience and expertise is centered on major rock engineering schemes, in particular large span underground openings, deep shafts, high rock slopes, heavily loaded foundations and long tunnel alignments in complex geological environments.
Discover MoreWe are leaders in the development of geological models and characterisation of rock masses for engineering purposes, a fundamental step in our design and analysis approach.
Discover MoreWe have significant experience in groundwater engineering and pressure attenuation and have been instrumental in establishing design concepts and designing mitigation and methodologies for major schemes.
Discover MoreWe are at the forefront of the application of advanced numerical analysis to complex rock engineering problems, utilising 2D and 3D continuum or discontinuum analysis methods appropriate to the project-specific ground conditions.
Discover MoreWe provide advisory and expert services ranging from technical advisers for funding and project agencies to expert witness services on high profile schemes in many parts of the world, often as lead experts coordinating specialist teams, dispute panels and technical adjudication.
