Geotechnical Capability Statement

The vision of Mikula Geotechnics is to pass on practical knowledge related to geotechnical issues in mines. We offers the following services for underground mines:
 

  • Mentoring of site Geotechnical Engineers. This aims to assist, focus and direct engineers to enhance value-adding work, provide appropriate services, implement robust procedures, and operate within relevant standards and regulations.
     

  • Phone / email / visit support. Telephone & email technical advice to the site geotechnical engineers is available as a help-desk for the duration of the assignment.
     

  • Audits. Underground geotechnical audits can be conducted for operating mines.
     

  • Review of Ground Control Management Plan. The GCMP can be specifically reviewed and compared against site standards and legislated regulations/codes.
     

  • Projects. Project packages related to areas of expertise (particularly seismicity and ground support) can be undertaken.
     

  • R&D. R&D criteria for ATO tax purposes are wider than usually appreciated. There is great benefit in trialling new ways of solving mining issues, and practical R&D applications can often be identified.
