Geotechnical & Mine Seismicity

Geotechnical hazards pose one of the most significant risks to underground hard-rock mining operations.

At BESTECH, we leverage innovative tools and analysis techniques to propel mines to the forefront of digitization and geotechnical data collection.

Working directly with mine site personnel, we dive deep into the data to develop and implement comprehensive geotechnical and seismic risk management plans. Our technical experts deliver customized training programs and services to address the unique challenges of deep and high-stress mining.
