This is a short course on rock engineering for non-engineers in mining. The course addresses rock engineering issues for personnel of mining companies who are not directly involved in mining: people like managers, metallurgists, field geologists ... even accountants, secretaries and lawyers. This course has been given to mining companies and mining operations around the world, primarily so that non-engineering personnel can understand what operations personnel need at the mine site level. (approximate course duration 3 hrs) More ...

A course for geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists and mining engineers concerned with design and maintenance of benched excavations in rock for open pit mining and quarrying, including data collection and reduction, a statistical approach to failure analysis and design, and methods for stability improvement. (approximate course duration 20 hrs) More ...
