About
Our aim is to enable safe and profitable production to our partners by unlocking opportunities, and to contribute to the development and implementation of a safety culture within the mining industry, by using the latest engineering techniques and technology solutions
ASA Geotech
Our team members have broad operational and consulting experience in rock mechanics.
We are specialized in geotechnical engineering for underground and surface operations: mine risk assessments, strategical planning, ground failure and rock burst investigations, mine design and ground control audits, due diligence reviews, feasibility studies, stope design and sequencing, crown pillar and pillar designs and all applied details to ground control, including ground support and opening design, microseisms analysis, modeling, backfill, and instrumentation.
We have been in the mining industry for about 20 years. Our extensive experience covers various mine locations, including Canada, USA, Western Africa, Eastern Asia, and South America, working in very challenging ground that varies from high stress to very week ground conditions.
