MINING ENGINEERING, MINE PLANNING, ROCK MECHANICS, NUMERICAL MODELLING

Beck Arndt Engineering specialises in mine planning and mining engineering for extreme environments or where corporate or expert geotechnical experience is being challenged.

Our practical, first-principles approach to solving mining problems enables us to consult on a wide range of mining methods covering the extremes of geological environments. We have experience in high stress, seismically active and high deformation environments, block and sub-level caving, mine-scale inelastic modelling and infrastructure placement as well as general geotechnical engineering.

		Mining and tunnelling in squeezing and high deformation conditions
		Homogenisation and discrete fracture networks Rock breakage and fragmentation
		3d large open pit modelling
		Numerical Modelling of Squeezing Ground And High Deformation Mining Environments
		Mining induced seicmicity research

The use of large three-dimensional (3D) numerical models, sufficient scale and detail of geological units, structure and a realistic representation of the stress field allow simulation of realistic displacements and energy release for mining problems. When necessary, probabilistic techniques are applied to more reliably describe estimates of the possible range of outcomes.

BAE is the only Australian mining engineering consultancy with experience building, running and calibrating large, geometrically true, mine-scale 3d non-linear inelastic FE models.
