Mechanical and Hand Scaling

MSHA has identified loose or unstable rock formations as one of their primary focuses for enforcement to prevent accidents. Our experienced technicians will ensure a safe working environment via mechanical and hand scaling methods.

Service Overview

Our Highwall Stabilization service provides critical and comprehensive solutions for ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of open pit mines and quarries by implementing robust ground support and stabilization measures on steep, high rock faces, commonly known as highwalls. Recognizing the inherent dangers associated with potential rockfall events in these environments, our specialized service is dedicated to mitigating these hazards effectively, thereby protecting personnel, equipment, and the overall productivity of the operation. We employ a multifaceted approach, integrating advanced engineering principles, cutting-edge technologies, and industry best practices to deliver tailored stabilization solutions that address the unique geological and operational challenges of each highwall.

Our expert team conducts thorough geotechnical investigations and detailed stability analyses to identify potential failure mechanisms and assess the specific risks associated with each highwall. This comprehensive evaluation forms the foundation for designing and implementing the most appropriate stabilization measures. Our suite of solutions encompasses a wide range of techniques, including but not limited to: rock bolting and anchoring systems designed to reinforce the rock mass and prevent movement; the installation of high-strength wire mesh and cable netting to contain loose or fractured rock and control potential rockfall; the application of specialized shotcrete and surface coatings to provide immediate support and prevent weathering and erosion; and the implementation of sophisticated drainage systems to manage groundwater pressure, a significant contributing factor to slope instability.  

Furthermore, we understand that effective highwall stabilization is an ongoing process. Therefore, our services extend beyond initial implementation to include the establishment of comprehensive monitoring programs. These programs utilize advanced instrumentation, such as extensometers, inclinometers, and ground movement radar, to continuously track the stability of the highwalls and provide early warnings of any potential instability. This proactive approach allows for timely intervention and preventative maintenance, ensuring the long-term safety and stability of the mining or quarrying operation. Our commitment to safety, technical expertise, and customized solutions makes our Highwall Stabilization service an indispensable asset for any operation seeking to minimize rockfall hazards, optimize resource extraction, and create a safer working environment for their teams.
