Services Our unique approach utilises physics based calculations of energy release calibrated to the mine’s seismicobservations. This physics based approach captures the mechanism of deformations and seismicity,allowing you ti clearly communicate current and future seismic hazard to engineers, managers and crews. About How we work At Beck Engineering we know that to safely mine in […]

Services Beck Engineering specialises in application of advanced, multi-scale, discontinuum modelling tools to simulate open stope overbreak, access conditions, filling and induced seismicity. We are the only provider of probabilistic simulation for stope overbreak potential. About Why Beck Engineering Leads the Field Most consultancies still treat stopes as isolated problems and run small “stope-scale” models
Services To better simulate the performance of caves and their interaction with the surrounding rock mass, an enhanced modelling method has been developed. This approach captures the physics of both the caved material and the intact rock mass and accounts for the progression of cave growth and subsidence over time, driven by a production schedule.
our approach In mining, changes in pore-water pressure alter the mechanical response of the rock mass, while deformation in turn opens or closes flow paths, changing hydraulic conductivity. Ignoring either side of this loop can compromise safety, productivity, and long-term planning. Beck Engineering’s hydro-mechanical coupling (AFCx) solves this two-way hydro-mechanical interaction in a single, transient

our approach Beck Engineering has conducted extensive research in the area of rock property estimation, rock strength scaling and homogenisation. One technique applied for these tasks is numerical homogenisation. This involves constructing a model of the rock mass using a discrete fracture network. The load-deformation response of the ‘synthetic’ specimen can be tested under static

Services At Beck Engineering, we provide advanced 3D finite element modelling (FEM) solutions to support open pit operations. Our models simulate the geomechanical response of the rock mass throughout excavation, enabling safer, more cost-effective shaft development and long-term performance. There is a trend for open pits to be mined greater depths than before. The greater
Services Ground Support Design Beck Engineering uses a multi-scale, discontinuum approach to improve the simulation reliability of ground support capacity and demand. We design support systems for any application, and specialise in: High deformation and seismic loading environments Simulating realistic mining induced seismic sources, to evaluate the sufficiency of ground support standards for seismically active

Services Beck Engineering simulates the cumulative effects of repeated dynamic loading by blasts, seismic events and earthquakes on stability, damage and deformation of US + OP and excavations. About 3D Geometry We complete 3D simulations to capture 3D dynamic effects on loading. These are often the critical points of failure within open pit excavations i.e.
