Your partner in the field of salt mechanics
The Institute of Rock Mechanics is an engineering service provider specializing in rock mechanics issues in mining.
Our clients come from traditional potash and rock salt mining, storage and brine mining, underground utilization and landfilling as well as final disposal. Thanks to our extensive expertise and site knowledge, which often goes back decades, we find customer-oriented, practicable solutions, even for complex issues and challenges. We combine practical investigation methods, such as underground in-situ measurements and material investigations in our rock mechanics laboratory, with sophisticated numerical model calculations for condition analyses and forecasts to provide approvable rock mechanics verifications and expert recommendations.
In addition, we collaborate with national and international partners in numerous research and development projects, thus continuously developing our engineering skills.
