This Academy is designed for geotechnical engineers and ground control professionals looking to strengthen their technical skills and improve ground stability, safety, and risk management across mining operations. Covering core topics such as rock mass characterization, slope stability, underground ground support design, geotechnical monitoring, hydrogeology fundamentals, and risk assessment, this Academy provides practical, real-world knowledge that can be applied directly to operational and design challenges.
Equip your geotechnical teams with the tools needed to manage ground risk, enhance safety, and protect operational continuity throughout the life of the mine.
This Academy is perfect for:
Duration: 3 hours
This course is to help for non-engineering personnel understand what operations personnel need at the mine site level. The goal is to give non-engineering personnel an appreciation of the volume of rock failures and their implications.
Duration: 15 hours
The purpose of this course is to provide mine staff the tools required to effectively gather geotechnical data for rock mass classification and rock mechanics design calculations.
Duration: 5 hours
This course presents the principles and application of stereographic projections, illustrated by numerous interactive figures. The course is divided into three parts: Geological Structures; Stereographic Projections; and Types of Failure.
Duration: 15 hours
This course provides an introduction to mine backfill properties, types, uses, mining methods and system layout. The objective of the courses is to provide an overview of common underground mine backfill practices and technologies for mine technical personnel.
Duration: 16 hours
Underground Mine Backfill 2 – Slurry, Paste, and Rock Fills is the second in a set of two Underground Mine Backfill courses. This course reviews each backfill type and its preparation, distribution, stope preparation and placement practices as well as relevant safety and quality control issues.
Duration: 19 hours
his course covers tailings as part of the mining process, tailings types and characteristics, tailings facility types and components, and tailings facility design, performance, construction, operation and closure illustrated by case histories. This course is for anyone involved in the different aspects of tailings listed above, including engineers, environmentalists, geologists, operators and regulators.
Duration: 9 hours
This course will review the concepts of what responsible tailings management is as it pertains to the mining life cycle. The course will use examples from around the world to emphasize current trends in best practices in tailings management embraced by leaders in the industry.
Duration: 22 hours
This introductory course is intended for anybody involved in mining who has to manage, review, pay for, design, construct, operate, or close a geotechnical structure at a mine. It will introduce you to and provide you with plenty of practical information and knowledge about those aspects of geotechnical engineering that occur at every mine. This includes geotechnical characterization of a site, soil characterization and properties, the design of geotechnical structures, and the construction, operation, and closure of mining facilities made or consisting of soil, rock, and geosynthetics.
Duration: 14 hours
In this course, we focus on groundwater theory and practice applicable to mines and the specifics of open pits, shafts, underground mine workings, heap leach pads, waste rock dumps, and tailings impoundments. We discuss, for each of these facilities, the principles of groundwater and facility design & operation that apply and must be implemented to control and protect groundwater and surface water.
Duration: 11 hours
This course is intended for those who have to model groundwater conditions at mines, as well as those who have to review and approve groundwater models. It is also intended for all who may have to make decisions about mines on issues that are controlled or affected by groundwater and the modeling of mine groundwater conditions.
Duration: 12 hours
