Shaft Sinking and Deformation
Beck Engineering provides advanced 3D finite element modelling (FEM) to support shaft sinking, shaft chamber development and manage their stability throughout excavation and operation. Our models simulate how the rock mass and support systems respond to excavation and over the life of mine, enabling safer, more efficient designs and long-term performance planning.
About
Beck Engineering specialises in shaft deformation management. We work with mines across the globe that have highly deformed shafts to plan extraction and maintain their shafts.
We provide:
- Reliable, accurate, realistic deformation forecasting with multi-scale discontinuum finite element simulations
- Probabilistic forecasting of deformation and damage
- Quantified reliability and certainty.
