Rock Bolting

Specialised Geo uses rockbolting as a method for stabilising rock in situations that require excavation or tunnelling such as mining, road and rail construction or for private residences. Rock bolting is a highly effective and reliable method for addressing safety risks caused by unstable rock that may topple, slide or buckle. Specialised Geo has a breadth of experience in large and small scale rockbolting applications ensuring maximum safety and operation for a wide range of sites.

When is rock bolting needed?

Specialised Geo uses rock bolting to stabilise loose or breaking rock that threatens site safety and operation. Rockbolting may be required when boulders, rock wedges or fractured rocks are breaking away from steep slopes or cliff faces. Specialised Geo has a strong understanding of geological structures and rock mechanics, ensuring our application of rockbolts meets industry safety standards and client expectations for ongoing site security.

Sites that may require the use of rock bolts include:

• Road construction and maintenance
• Rail construction and maintenance
• Open and closed mining
• Tunnel construction
• Rural environments
• Private residences.

What are rock bolts & how do they work?

Rock bolts are long anchor bolts that are inserted to pin and stabilise rock faces or slopes. Rockbolting works by pulling together unstable masses of rock thereby transferring the load from an unstable exterior to a more stable and a stronger interior rock.
