The challenge
Planned expansion of underground workings at the Olympic Dam copper-uranium operation required data on ground conditions, the rock mass and existing infrastructure to inform the design.
Our approach
- 1Geotechnical investigations of ground conditions
- 2Structural testing of existing infrastructure
- 3Rock mass characterisation to support expansion design
Outcome
Geotechnical data, rock mass characterisation and structural test results were reported to the design team as inputs to the expansion design.
