Laboratory results are most useful when they drive decisions underground. We pair mining materials testing with computational modeling, clear data visualization, and quantitative risk analysis so operators and engineers can optimize mixes, track performance, weigh materials and schedule uncertainty, and communicate QA/QC trends with confidence.

• Quantitative risk analysis for materials performance, process-control, and schedule decisions tied to your testing programs


• Pastefill and CRF mix and performance modeling support—including pump-line simulation and interpretation of strength and consistency data


• Visualization of strength, rheology, RDP/fibercrete, and QA/QC results for process control and technical reporting


• Custom analysis for non-standard materials and project-specific questions when off-the-shelf reports are not enough

Optimize fill strength and performance with complete Cemented Rock Fill (CRF) mix trial batch design and laboratory testing.

• CRF trial batches and mix design development


• CRF material testing for strength, consistency, and quality


• Programs tailored to your materials and operating conditions

Specialized cemented paste fill testing for mines that need more than a standard laboratory package.

• Aggregate and mix design


• Rheology


• Pump line simulation (see also our data visualization, modeling, and risk analysis services)


• UCS and triaxial testing

Quality assurance and structural evaluation for shotcrete and fibercrete used in ground support.

• Shotcrete and ground support testing


• Thickness verification


• Quality assurance programs


• Panel coring and compressive strength testing


• Shotcrete / fibercrete UCS and Round Determinate Panel (RDP) testing, with optional data visualization for performance trends


• Coring and testing shotcrete panels for structural evaluation

Certified testing for construction materials, backfill, tailings, and mine development—supporting the geotechnical and materials work that keeps operations moving.

• Aggregate testing


• Soil and geotechnical testing


• Backfill and tailings materials evaluation


• Support for mine development construction materials

Laboratory rock strength testing that gives mine and geotechnical teams data for ground control and stability decisions.

• Rock identification and specimen preparation


• Coring of rock specimens


• Unconfined compressive strength per ASTM D7012


• Point load strength testing (single-point load) per ASTM D5731


• Tensile split (Brazilian) testing per ASTM D3967


• Strength results used to support stability and ground-control evaluations

We are known for taking on difficult, unusual, or highly specialized requests—including materials and methods outside standard lab capabilities.

• Custom protocols for non-standard or project-specific materials


• On-site sampling options when your schedule demands it


• Comprehensive technical reporting
