Geomechanics research studies the mechanics of rocks and materials with application in the mineral resources industry. The facility provides laboratory equipment required to advance the technologies for a sustainable and safe mining practice that is essential to meet future mineral needs.Â
Work performed in the Mine Geomechanics Laboratory drives our research flagship in geomechanics. The lab allows for simulating extreme in-situ conditions. The lab is the centre of many of our experimental programs for our industry and government-funded research programs.
