CONSTRUCTION AGGREGATE

Geomapping Associates Ltd. has served sand, gravel, and crushed rock producers, constructions firms, and private landowners doing business in the construction aggregate industry for over 30 years by supplying geotechnical expertise for efficient planning, design, and monitoring of pit and quarry operations. Construction aggregate producers face rigorous challenges to maintain both raw material supply and material quality to meet production goals.

  • Careful planning is required in order to achieve a balance between meeting short term production demands and maintaining economical extraction for the long term development of the aggregate operation as a whole.

Geomapping professional consultants have the specific production experience and knowledge of geologic conditions to assist your operation by designing both short range and long range plans to:

  • Maximize Recoverable Sand,
    Gravel or Stone Reserve Volume
  • Maintain Quality Control
  • Control Development Costs
  • Address Land Use Issues
  • Mitigate Environmental Concerns
  • Implement Site Reclamation
Pit and quarry operation plans must be based on a thorough understanding of the geology of the project site. Once a sand and gravel or bedrock formation is targeted for potential construction aggregate production, a comprehensive geologic investigation of the deposit must be conducted in order to delineate the deposit configuration in a three dimensional perspective, to establish the recoverable reserve volume, and to determine material quality and consistency. Geomapping professionals have the knowledge and experience required to supply your pit or quarry development with the essential geologic information necessary in order to make informed planning decisions. Geomapping Associates Ltd. offers a systematic approach in evaluating earth resources for construction aggregate production. Services offered include:
  • Surface Geologic and Topographic Mapping
  • Subsurface Geologic Investigations
  • Digital Terrain Modeling and 3 Dimensional Section Modeling
  • Bulk Sampling and Trench Testing Programs
  • Material Quality Sampling and Analysis

The Geomapping system for geologic prospecting and assessment involves a phased approach to investigation designed to conserve your development funds. Each phase of investigation providing the required baseline field data and documentation for subsequent testing and design phases.

Building on baseline geologic information for your project site, Geomapping professional consultants can guide your construction aggregate operation through the planning, design, and permitting phase of project development. We have planning, design, and permitting experience for both the expansion of existing pit and quarry operations, as well as, prospective greenfield projects. Geomapping Associates Ltd. can assist your project with:

  • Pit and Quarry Extraction Planning
  • Calculation of Overburden Stripping Volume and In-Place Raw Material Reserves
  • Design of Pit and Quarry Bench Development and Haulage Routes
  • Design of Processing Facilities
  • Reclamation Planning
  • Overall Site Planning, Land Use Mapping, and Delineation of Environmental Receptors
  • Drainage and Erosion Control System Design
  • Wastewater Disposal and Solid Waste Disposal System Design
  • Environmental Protection Planning and Design
  • Environmental and Land Use Permit Impact Studies, Expert Testimony and Application Preparation

Financial audits for royalty agreements and valuation appraisals for construction aggregate operations frequently demand accurate and timely measurement of excavated space and product stockpiles. Geomapping field professionals can support your auditing team by supplying volumetric calculation of extracted reserves and product stockpiles using the most up-to-date digital surveying and data collection methods available. Geomapping utilizes this technology in order to expedite the technical analysis phase of your project and thereby supply your auditing team with the required data to augment your schedule.
