GEO-HAZARD MITIGATION EXPERT
M84 Geotech is a geo-hazard mitigation company specializing in supply and installation of rockfall protection and slope stabilization solutions for open pit mines. What does M84 Geotech do? We save mining operations production time by installing robust high wall and slope support solutions with minimum interruption to production. This is done by using rope access techniques which make it possible for us to access inaccessible areas without stopping movement within the pit or minimize the movement while work is done.
Depending on the problem or risk we are dealing with, the following options are available:
ROCK SCALING.
This is a process of safe removal of loose and unstable rocks on the face of the slope, steep terrain or cliffs to prevent rockfalls. This can be done manually using crow bars and other tools or mechanically using rock airbags.
ROCK BREAKING.
The process of fracturing or fragmenting rocks on the mine high wall. This is done to assists operations with blasting on areas that are inaccessible such as slope benches.
SLOPE MONITORING.
We do installation of slope monitoring devises on mine high walls.
ROCKFALL BARRIER.
This is a system designed to catch falling rocks or boulders from reaching mine haul roads or damaging mining infrastructure or people.
SLOPE STABILISATION.
This is what we refer to as active solution as it prevents slope failure by ensuring the stability of the slope. The slope is draped with a high tensile wire mesh and pinned.
DRAPE MESH.
Drape mesh system is a passive rockfall protection solution which is used to prevent falling rocks, boulders and debris from slope. It controls the movement of the rocks and boulders preventing them from free falling onto mine haul roads.
