– Mining, consultancy, support and rock stress measurement.
– Instrumentation, CSIRO Cell, and training.
– Extensometers, telltales, rockbolts and room and pillar.
– Longwall, shortwall and coal.
– geotechnical logging and quarries.
- The verification of a rockbolt system design by monitoring, measurement, and observation.
- The basis of the method is to understand the roof and rib deformation mechanisms.
- This can be achieved using in-situ strata deformation monitoring, rock-bolt support loading, and an assessment of the site conditions.
- The purpose is to optimise the rockbolt design so that is both effective and efficient in ground support. Mining, consultancy, support, rock stress measurement, instrumentation, CSIRO Cell, training, instrumentation, extensometers,
