Geotechnical assessment and GCMPs

Having a comprehensive geotechnical understanding of your quarry and a Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) is vital

Using the latest drone wall mapping techniques we can quickly and effectively gather the information required to create a sound, practical geotechnical model of your site.

From this we work with you to provide a practical Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) that is relevant, understandable by your team and provides clear recommendations on what actions need to be taken and when.

The traditional approach to mapping rock structures is to have a geologist or geotech work at the face with a Brunton compass, measuring strike and dip. This can be dangerous!

We can produce extremely accurate 3D representations of a face using a drone – fast, safe and much more geo friendly!
