Case Studies

The Applied & Environmental Geophysics Research Group have a number of case studies relating to our expertise of using Microgravity.

kal_grav_thumb Kalgoorlie, Western Australia - A Microgravity Case Study

KCGM operate one of the worlds largest gold mines, located in Western Australia. The open cast superpit is working towards a finished level of -600m. Extensive abandoned stope workings dating from the 1800's underlie the mine and present severe problems in terms of mine planning and production. KCGM had already tested several geophysical methods and commissioned us to carry out a microgravity pilot study

Phase 2 of the Freeport Container Terminal lies adjacent to the existing port. Shallow dissolution cavities were thought to underlie the site so we were commissioned to undertake a Microgravity survey.
