Mining services: contract mining, shotcrete and ground support

Underground and surface services for operating mines, including contract mining, drilling, shotcreting, ground support and grouting.

Our geotechnical engineers also audit ground support and model stability, and can advise on support and grouting work. We plan work around the mine's schedule, safety systems and shutdown windows.
