Mineral Processing and Mining Geotechnics Laboratory


Head of the Laboratory - Nika Bochorishvili, PhD

The Mineral Processing and Mining Geotechnics Laboratory is structurally a part of the Underground Structures Construction and Mining Technologies Center.

  

MAIN SCIENTIFIC DIRECTIONS:
  • Engineering and geomechanical problems of designing and constructing underground structures; 
  • Improving of mineral deposit processing systems and technologies; 
  • Problems of exploitation and use of natural and artificial underground spaces
  • Geomechanical problems of stability of natural and technogenic landslide-prone slopes;
  • Research on underground coal gasification technologies;
  • Environmental protection, labor, and engineering-technical safety issues in the mining industry.
