Current Clients & Projects
The GRC has provided innovative solutions for several industry partners worldwide. The following is a partial list of present projects.
Liquefaction Triggering and Instability of Mine Tailings
In collaboration with OCE VIP II & Golder Associates
The goal is to develop a comprehensive technique for liquefaction triggering analysis of mine tailings (primarily gold tailings). The outcome will improve the safety of mine tailings dams in Ontario.
Clients: Golder, the primary people are Peter Merry and Michael Etezad.
