Founding and Vision
Our operations began with a clear purpose: to promote, educate, and ensure safety in underground mining processes. In an industrial context with a high incidence of geomechanical events, we are driving a paradigm shift to demonstrate that structural prevention is possible.
Through the precise identification of failure modes, the appropriate selection of instrumentation, and advanced data analysis, we consolidated our technical expertise, rapidly expanding our capabilities from underground mining to open-pit operations, waste dumps, tailings dams, and highly complex civil works.

Chuquicamata Transfer Station
Following the station's collapse, we actively participated in the comprehensive design of the new geotechnical monitoring during its rehabilitation and commissioning phase.
This work resulted in a pioneering solution that established the first post-failure stability criteria for excavations. Currently, this methodological innovation is a global standard applied in both mining and the recovery of any civil engineering project that has faced a critical structural event.

San José Mine Rescue
Following the national emergency caused by the collapse at the San José Mine, we were called upon as experts to ensure the stability of the environment.
Our mission was to ensure geomechanical safety throughout all phases of the complex search and rescue operations for the 33 trapped miners.

Fundão Tailings Dam Collapse (Samarco)
Following the contingency at this large tailings dam in Brazil, companies like BHP and Vale requested our immediate technical support to assess the overall safety of the affected area.
The intervention focused on identifying, measuring, and assessing the geotechnical stability behavior of the primary retaining walls adjacent to the tailings dam, mitigating additional operational risks.

Consolidation in Civil Works and Global Expansion
Currently, our experience extends beyond the mining industry to provide comprehensive technical value in the development of major infrastructure projects.
Our expertise is backed by involvement in highly demanding urban projects, such as the construction of Metro lines (using NATM and TBM methods), the AVO 1 and AVO 2 road concessions, and the execution of the El Melón 2 Tunnel.
With established operations in Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Spain, we project ourselves globally as absolute leaders in geotechnical and structural control for mining, civil works, and specialized engineering projects.
