QuarryDesign rooted in science and safety
Integrated geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and surveying expertise to help you plan, design and operate quarries with clarity and confidence.
Designing and operating a safe, efficient and commercially sound quarry takes more than data alone – it takes the right expertise working together from the very start. That’s where we come in.
At LMCL, our QuarryDesign® team brings geologists, geotechnical engineers, hydrogeologists and surveyors together to give you a complete, joined-up view of your site. We combine pioneering survey technology with deep sector experience to help you plan, design and operate quarries with confidence.
Whether you’re assessing a new site, reviewing an existing operation or looking to optimise production, we provide clear, practical guidance grounded in robust data. Our team is fully qualified across the UK’s regulatory frameworks – from producing PERC Standard Reserve and Resource statements, to acting as Geotechnical Specialists and Mine Surveyors as defined in the industry regulations.
Working as an integrated consultancy means we share insight seamlessly across disciplines, enabling accurate modelling, stability analysis and safe, compliant design for excavations, tips, slopes, embankments and lagoons. We also support operators and managers with geotechnical training, duediligence work and expert-witness services when needed.
However complex your site, we’re here to help you make informed decisions that keep your operations safe, compliant and commercially viable.
Geology
From above and below ground mapping to supervision and site investigations, our geologists use the latest technology to improve safety for all.
Geotechnics
Our engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers gather and interpret data for rock mechanics and engineering soils using the latest techniques, bringing greater clarity over your site’s behaviour.
Hydrogeology
Our hydrogeologists translate complex hydrogeological data and insights into clear, actionable advice for clients in line with the latest regulations.
Surveys
As one of the first companies in the UK to pioneer drone surveys, we can produce high quality topographical, bathymetric and subterranean surveys in even the most remote environments.
Getting started
However complex your site, we can help you plan, design and operate your quarry with confidence – safely, compliantly and commercially.
