Mining projects we support
Open Pit Mines
Ground investigation, rock testing and monitoring for pit extensions, benches and active extraction areas.
Underground Mines
Settlement, subsidence and vibration monitoring above and beside underground workings and supporting infrastructure.
Quarries
Rock coring, laboratory testing and monitoring to support extraction planning and ongoing quarry operations.
Tailings Facilities
Installation of piezometers and deformation monitors for tailings storage facilities and embankments to support ongoing dam safety programs.
Mine Infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
Geotesta supports open pit and underground mines, quarries, tailings storage facilities, embankments, haul roads, mine infrastructure and rehabilitation projects.
Instrumentation measures actual ground movement, deformation, settlement and groundwater behaviour. This helps engineers validate design assumptions and identify changing conditions before they affect safety or production.
Yes. Geotesta can install sensors and data loggers connected to a cloud-based platform that provides automated reporting, analysis and alarms across multi-year monitoring programs.
Yes. Where standard instruments cannot address the measurement problem, Geotesta can manufacture custom sensors in-house and integrate them into the monitoring system.
Yes. Geotesta combines drilling, rock coring, in-situ testing and groundwater work with a NATA-accredited laboratory covering soil, rock and aggregate testing.
