Mining, Cavity Investigation and Remediation Design
Solum Saxum Consultants provide expert geotechnical solutions, from desk-based Preliminary Risk Assessments to complex site investigations, ground-structure interactions, and geotechnical design.
We ensure your project starts with a solid foundation - built on expertise, precision, and reliability.
What is cavity investigation?
- Identifies hidden voids or weak spots underground.
- Cavities can be natural (sinkholes, caves) or man-made (old mine tunnels).
- Uses advanced methods like ground-penetrating radar, borehole drilling, and geophysical surveys.
Why is it important?
- Prevents risks to buildings, roads, and mining operations.
- Ensures the ground is stable before construction or excavation.
Remediation – Making the ground safe
- If a cavity is found, engineers design solutions to stabilise the area.
- Methods include:
- Filling voids with grout or other materials.
- Installing supports like beams or anchors.
- Improving soil conditions to reduce future risks.
- Protects structures, workers, and the environment from potential ground movement.
