GeoStabilization International® provides industry-leading rockfall control and rock slope stabilization solutions for the mining industry. The company employs a wide range of innovative technologies and geohazard mitigation methods, including rock bolts, rock scaling, steel mesh and rock anchor attenuator systems, and more.
The operator of a Kentucky limestone quarry contracted GeoStabilization International® to remediate a rockfall event near the high walls supporting the quarry’s crusher facilities. Low-capacity draped mesh that had been installed in the affected area over a decade ago was unraveling, and the large rock blocks underneath threatened the safety of the plant facilities and workers.
After surveying the site and designing a remediation plan together with the client and the client’s consulting engineers, GeoStabilization’s crews spot-bolted some of the hazardous overhangs and restored the steel mesh using high-capacity Geobrugg TECCO® mesh. To reach the affected area, GeoStabilization’s technicians mobilized the company’s purpose-built wagon drills for limited-access sites.
GeoStabilization International® completed the project on time and on budget, with minimal disruption to the client’s operations, and at a price that was less than 50% lower than competitor estimates.
Rockfall may be a natural process, but that does not mean it cannot be controlled or mitigated.
GeoStabilization utilizes minimally invasive and cost-effective on-slope treatments such as draped steel mesh and rock bolts to prevent or mitigate rockfall hazards. These solutions slow down rockfall and prevent debris from scattering onto critical infrastructure by containing the loose rock within high-tensile-strength steel mesh.
GeoStabilization’s certified and highly trained Rockfall Remediation Technicians (RRTs) perform all types of rock scaling depending on the needs of the project, including manual, mechanical, and remote scaling with blasting capabilities.
GeoStabilization International® works with mining operators to provide fully engineered solutions for ground and slope instabilities in any geological setting. Specializing in high-risk geohazard mitigation, GeoStabilization’s engineers use the company’s fleet of limited-access equipment and other innovative technologies to implement effective remediation solutions for:
With 24-hour emergency response capability across North America and over 5,500 successful geohazard mitigation projects to date, GeoStabilization International® is the world’s leading rockfall remediation company.
