Europe: Gypsum mine

Gyproc in Ireland, part of the French company Saint-Gobain, extract gypsum from shallow underground room and pillar mines and an open cut located in County Monaghan, Ireland. SRK have been involved in providing underground geotechnical services at the mine since 1998. The work has included geotechnical characterisation and assessment of room and pillar stability, geotechnical hazard and risk assessments, annual regulatory geotechnical audits of mining operations, assessment and analysis of surface subsidence potential and numerical modelling to assess the impact of undermining below 3rd party surface infrastructure.
