Flood Events – How geosynthetic System Solutions can accelerate Reconstruction and contribute to safe technical Precautions

Construction methods using geosynthetics include interesting opportunities for sustainable reconstruction after flood events – even on very soft soils. A geosynthetic-reinforced earth construction allowed a very fast building of a bridge after extreme weather in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate last year.

The SMS 2A Project in Moss, Norway – an Engineering and Construction Challenge in Quick Clay

The SMS 2A project in Moss, Norway, includes the construction of a 10 km new double-track railway through the city of Moss. The central part of the project is to be constructed in challenging ground conditions characterized by the presence of quick clays and low slope stability in the existing situation. Calculations updated after contract award and based on the results of existing and additional soil investigations revealed the need for several special measures to enable the safe construction of the project. The engineering of these measures is complex.

Soft Power in Hard Metals: H.C. Starck Tungsten looks to its female Managers
Special Topic: Focus on people

H. C. Starck Tungsten has something that many companies in the technical field seem to lack, namely a high proportion of female managers. The GeoResources team therefore met up with Barbara Hölter, who is Head of Human Resources at the tungsten powders specialist, to hear her put forward thoughts and insights that will be of interest to the sectors relevant to GeoResources and to all our readers.

The Application of freely available Remote Sensing Data in Risk Management Systems for abandoned Mines and Post-mining

Freely available remote sensing data hold real potential for the geomonitoring and risk management systems that are required for abandoned mines and post-mining. Various remote sensing systems were therefore analysed, compared and assessed in terms of their suitability for geomonitoring tasks.

Shaft Sinking with innovative Boring Machines and on-board Dust Control

The state-owned Belaruskali company has been actively engaged in potash mining in Belarus for some 60 years. The privately financed  Nezhinsky mine has been planning to extract potash deposits at Soligorsk since 2011 and work commenced on a green-field site there in 2016. The original intention was to sink two shafts using ground freezing technology combined with drilling and firing. However in 2016 the future mine operators Slavkali opted for completely new technology – mechanised shaft boring from the solid. This paper outlines the methods used and the experience acquired from these innovative shaft construction projects and describes the dust control measures that were applied during the mechanised sinking operations.
