Ground Support That Fits the Mine Environment
In mining, deterioration at highwalls, pit walls, ramps, portals, and narrow benches affects worker exposure, equipment access, and production continuity. Mine teams do not need a contractor to explain that risk. They need a contractor who can integrate with the site’s ground control program, work safely inside live operations, and install the required ground support systems without unnecessary disruption.
A Ground Support Contractor, Not a Generalist
GRW is a ground support contractor. We work within the mine’s geotechnical design, ground control requirements, and operating constraints to execute scaling, drilling, rock bolts, dowels, anchors, pinned and draped mesh, drains, grouting, testing, and related stabilization work. Our role is to integrate with engineering and site ground control and deliver the specified system in the field.
Built for Live-Mine Execution
Mine work requires more than steep-slope access. It requires safe work plans, exclusion zones, access and rescue planning, communication controls, traffic and access management, and disciplined sequencing around live operations. Our procedures are built around those requirements, including hazard-area control, pre-task planning, drill and workface inspections, and documentation of changing field conditions.
Proven on Mine Ground Support Scopes
GRW has performed mine-relevant ground support work including scaling, drilling, rock bolting, pinned mesh, draped mesh, mesh repair, and drain installation. At New Afton Mine, we performed slope contouring and scaling to the Ramp Geotechnical Plan, then installed pinned mesh and horizontal drains along the pit access road. At Galore Creek Mine, we performed scaling, brow shaping, draped mesh installation, and repairs along multiple mine access-road zones.
Compliance and Readiness
In the U.S., we hold an MSHA Contractor ID and team members with MSHA mine-site experience. In Canada, we work within applicable mine-site and provincial requirements and align our execution with owner safety systems, geotechnical requirements, and project-specific controls.
Bottom Line
GRW understands that mine clients are not buying general rockfall language. They are evaluating whether a contractor can execute ground support safely, compliantly, and effectively inside a live mine. That is the work we are built to perform.
