THE RELEVANCE OF THE STRESS STATE IN TUNNEL STABILITY In the world of underground mining and tunnel construction, the stability of the rock mass is paramount, and the stress state of the terrain plays a significant role. Stresses in the terrain caused by structural load, groundwater pressure, or ground settlement can lead to deformations, cracks, or even collapse. To prevent these occurring, it is essential to implement the appropriate support design to ensure stability and operational safety. At Onix Underground, thanks to our experience, we understand the importance of adapting support solutions to terrain conditions. Our team of experts thoroughly analyses the state of the rock mass before recommending and applying the most suitable anchoring systems. We have a wide range of products designed to address a variety of geotechnical situations and ensure the stability and safety of tunnels at all stages of their construction and operation. Safety is our top priority. Need help implementing the most suitable anchoring system in your underground operation?

The September edition of Friction has just dropped. Here's what you need to know. 👇    As we transition to the business end of the year, we turn our attention to a critical area of our industry: tailings dam rehabilitation.   Ahmad Zarei, Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Cartledge Mining and Geotechnics looks into the methods emerging in the management and safety of tailings dams and explores how these approaches impact environmental responsibility and long-term structural integrity.   This month's area of focus also provides a chance to look back at GroundProbe Commercial Manager- Australasia Paul Davies’ prevailing piece on the evolution of monitoring tailings dams and how it's a timely reminder of how advancements in technology are helping to reduce risk for both miners and communities.   You can check out the full edition here: https://lnkd.in/graAFYk4   If you know a geotechnical engineer who’d enjoy Friction, please tag a colleague or friend or share an idea below. ⬇   #Friction #GeotechincalEngineering #TailingsDams #Monitoring #Rehabilitation

The evolution from manual labor to today's high-tech tunneling represents a significant leap in efficiency, precision, and safety. 🚇 Tunnel boring machines are an alternative to drilling and blasting (D&B) methods and "hand mining". They limit the disturbance to the surrounding ground and produce a smooth tunnel wall. This reduces the cost of lining the tunnel and is suitable for use in urban areas because it minimizes surface disruptions and environmental impact. Doğuş Construction continues to pioneer these advancements, shaping the future of tunnel construction worldwide. #DoğuşConstruction #TBMTechnology #tunneling

Flyrock is a hazardous side effect of blasting operations in mining and construction, where rock fragments are propelled beyond the intended blast area. This can cause damage to property, equipment, and pose serious risks to workers and the surrounding community. To minimise flyrock, blasting patterns should be carefully designed, taking into account factors such as the burden, spacing, and the angle of drilling. The proper use of controlled blasting techniques, such as reducing the explosive charge per delay, optimising the depth and orientation of blast holes, and employing protective measures like blast mats, can help contain flyrock within a safe distance. Additionally, regular monitoring and adjustments based on site-specific conditions are crucial to ensure the effectiveness of these measures.

Faults | Open Pits | Piles https://lnkd.in/d9ebp6sz Case studies of landslide in heap leach pad, on open pit slope. Unless major accidents occur, mining has a very secretive literature. Sometimes near misses, sometimes cheap misses or small-scale mass movements on the rock can be neglected, rightfully or unjustly, by taking into account the planning and execution process during operation. Just as the relationship of occupational safety with statistics rather than feelings is consistent, the problems experienced with faults in open pits and underground mines, if any, will be compatible with the data kept. While making the plans of pit design or stockpile mass areas, it is very important to cross-check your designs and get the opinion of different sciences. You can only foresee risks and opportunities in applications such as sustainability and future plans, mine expansion and capacity increase through meetings and evaluations with all relevant units/departments. You can follow the details of cutaway topics in the video with the item number in https://lnkd.in/d9ebp6sz. It will be useful to stop the video at the point where the relevant topic title is found, watch the episode again, and re-evaluate it in detail. #fault #structuralgeology #geotechnical #openpit #groundinvestigation #jobsafety #landslide #leachpad
