International Projects
RDCL provide geotechnical, geological and mine engineering services to underground and open pit mines, and exploration plays. Our senior staff are competent in coal and gold resource evaluation.
Our commodity experience includes gold, copper and base metals. We are experienced in Scoping through to “bankable” Feasibility studies, mine construction and commissioning and mine production.
Our international experience includes Australia, Ghana, the Philippines, Indonesia, Mozambique, Armenia and Chile. We pride ourselves in our ability to work in remote areas, different geographical conditions and other cultures and we know how to get the job done.
Our project experience includes roads, heavy plant foundations, bridges, land slide remediation, tunnels, light industrial buildings and residential developments.
We own and operate CPT and Seismic CPT equipment and are specialists in seismic and liquefaction assessment.
