Where our data made the difference.
PVGC has supported engineering teams across mining, infrastructure, environmental, and energy sectors with precision geotechnical data that informed critical design and regulatory decisions.
Copper Mine TSF Characterization
Advanced triaxial program to characterize monotonic and cyclic behavior of copper tailings, including critical state line (CSL) determination and undrained shear strength parameters for stability analysis.
Outcome
Critical state parameters established for TSF dam stability assessment under seismic loading. Results directly supported dam safety review submission to provincial regulator.
Client
Major Mining Corporation
Tests Performed
- Cyclic Triaxial (ASTM D5311)
- Monotonic CU Triaxial
- CSL Determination
- Grain Size & Atterberg Limits
Highway Bridge Pier Foundation Study
Comprehensive soil characterization program to determine design parameters for deep foundation design at five bridge pier locations in soft lacustrine deposits.
Industrial Site Remediation Assessment
Hydraulic conductivity and contaminant transport parameter testing to support design of low-permeability cap system over contaminated fill material.
Port Facility Seismic Liquefaction Study
Cyclic triaxial and direct simple shear testing program to evaluate liquefaction resistance of marine sand deposits underlying existing wharf structures.
Hydropower Dam Seepage Analysis
Hydraulic conductivity, filter compatibility, and internal erosion testing program to assess the potential for internal erosion through the embankment core and transition zones.
Open-Pit Mine Rock Slope Stability
Comprehensive rock testing program to characterize intact rock and discontinuity shear strength for pit slope stability analysis during expansion phase.
