We have extensive experience of the investigation, assessment and stabilisation of underground mine workings for various minerals, (coal, ironstone, limestone and salt), and their associated mine entries (shafts & adits, etc.).
Our range of project experience includes the investigation of areas adjacent to existing occupied buildings, using mini access rigs fitted with dust suppression equipment, through to the stabilisation of extensive shallow mine workings below large development sites.
