The rock mechanics studies are a complementary service, oriented to mining and construction projects. The realization of them allows us to comprehend and anticipate the mechanical behavior of the rock and rock masses, and understand the conditions of the efforts in the rock terrain where a project will be developed. In such a manner, preventive alternatives to reduce costs and risks can be evaluated for the development of the project.
Among rock mechanics studies, some of the most relevant ones are: numeric modeling, room caving design, slope stability and design.
