A company was considering a significant quarry acquisition – but wanted an independent expert to verify the reserve assessment before committing. Project A company sought to purchase a quarry for industrial sand production. The seller provided a reserve assessment completed by another consultancy, but the buyer questioned the reliability of the results and commissioned QuarryDesign

A high-output quarry was down to just three viable blasts and needed urgent, expert intervention to secure its future production. Project A well-established quarry producing approximately 1 million tonnes per year was encountering increasing difficulty in identifying viable future blasting areas. Limited internal geological resources meant the site geologist could not visit frequently enough, and

A quarry facing a large-scale wedge failure risk needed to understand exactly how far the problem extended – and what it would cost them. Project A small quarry operating within a Greywacke deposit identified a potentially significant geotechnical risk. Numerous persistent discontinuities were present across the site, and a developing large-scale wedge failure was observed
