BGC's rock mechanics and rock engineering specialists are adept at developing practical solutions to solve the challenging rock engineering problems that may be associated with hydroelectric and water resources projects. Typical examples include:

Assessment of foundation shear strength and the sliding stability of structures.
Design of high-head, unlined pressure tunnels.
Design of rock support requirements for underground and surface excavations.
Design of excavation methods and sequencing.
Controlled blasting specifications and construction monitoring.
