From Exploration Holes to Production Panels
Underground coal. Hard rock. Open cut. The data types differ but the problem is the same: when the mine plan changes, can your geotechnical data keep up?
The Mine Planning Problem
The geotech from the previous drilling campaign left. His spreadsheets are on a server nobody remembers the login for. The mine plan just changed—again.
Now you need CMRR values for panels that weren't in the original scope.
This is what happens when geotechnical data lives in personal folders instead of a purpose-built system.
Three Products. One Connected Platform.
Each tool built for a specific workflow. All sharing the same data backbone.
Coal Mine Roof Rating
Scenario comparison in 2 clicks. Every input logged. PDF reports that match what reviewers expect.
- —Multi-scenario bolt length × roof type analysis
- —Full audit trail for every calculation
- —Consistent methodology across all sites
- —Reports aligned with RSHQ, MSHA, and DMIRS requirements
- —Support for strata management and ground control plans
Geotechnical Database
UCS, PLT, density—all in one place. Query by lithology, depth, or weathering grade. Data that survives turnover.
- —Purpose-built schema for geotechnical data
- —CSV import to filtered chart in 4 clicks
- —Cross-site data analysis
Hydrogeological Testing
Hoek & Bray and CANMET—calculated side-by-side on every test. Full traceability from field data to final report.
- —Two Lugeon formulas on every test
- —Packer test to K-value in minutes
- —Water intersection management
Benefits of Cloud-Based Geotechnical Data
Mine plan changes? Data's already there.
When panels shift or new areas come into scope, the geotechnical history travels with them. No folder hunting.
Staff turnover doesn't break continuity.
The next geotech inherits a database, not a mystery folder. Every decision documented. Every assumption traceable.
Same methodology, every site.
When the regulator asks "how did you calculate that?" the answer is the same whether it's Site A or Site D.
