Accurate and detailed site characterization is the foundation of responsible mine development. BGC conducts:

• Desktop studies of geology, geohazards, and seismic risk
• Detailed field investigations for geotechnical, hydrogeological, and geochemical conditions
• Laboratory testing to support material behavior modeling

We deliver data that directly informs mine design, material sourcing, and risk management strategies.

BGC’s Software Team creates custom mining web applications for data integration and visualization, built on the Cambio platform. Capabilities include:

• Integration of drilling, sensor, and earth observation data
• Interactive mapping with geospatial layers
• Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for immersive 3D visualization

Our tools help clients monitor site conditions, model risk, and optimize decision-making.

BGC acts as Engineer of Record (EOR) or Designer of Record (DOR) for critical infrastructure. Our services include:

• Geotechnical design for open pit and underground mines
• Tailings dams, waste rock storage, and heap leach facilities
• Foundations for heavy civil and hydrotechnical structures
• Linear infrastructure (e.g., haul roads, pipelines)
• Mine closure design and reclamation strategies

We integrate hydrogeology, structural geology, and materials science into our designs for long-term performance.

We offer robust geotechnical and environmental monitoring services using:

• Remote sensing and UAV surveys
• Topographic and bathymetric mapping
• Surface and subsurface instrumentation with automated data acquisition
• Monitoring system design and installation

We help clients set performance thresholds and establish action plans for geotechnical hazards like slope failures or groundwater movement.

BGC delivers operational-phase services including:

• Tailings deposition modeling and density prediction
• Rockfall and pit slope runout assessments
• Ground control management plans
• OMS and Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPPs) for dam safety

Our team supports safe and efficient mine operations through predictive modeling and continuous monitoring.

We help clients proactively identify and mitigate risks across mine assets, offering:

• Risk assessments for tailings dams, pits, underground openings, and waste dumps
• Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)
• Probabilistic risk modeling
• Risk-informed closure planning

These services ensure compliance with global standards such as GISTM (Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management) and help reduce long-term liability.
