BRTS - Experts in Rock Strength , Excavatability, Abrasivity, Long Term and Short term Stability Testing for Mining and Tunnelling Projects
Bamford Rock Testing Services (BRTS) was established in March 2014 under the Direction of Dr. Bill Bamford who is recognised as a world leader in the field of specialised rock testing with a lifetime of experience and research devoted to the area. BRTS is an adjunct geotechnical laboratory to the University of Melbourne and has research ties with several other universities in the Melbourne region.
The main areas of expertise provided by Bamford Rock Testing Services are:
# Measuring the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, for the design of tunnels and mines
# Characterising the abrasiveness of solid and fragmented rocks and soils, as it affects the difficulty of dredging, trenching and soft-ground tunnelling in these materials, and to what extent the machinery will suffer wear
# Characterising rocks in order to predict the performance of rock excavating machinery
These capabilities can be applied to numerous applications including tunnels, infrastructure, quarries, oil and gas, and mining projects.
Through Dr Bill Bamford, a number of standard suites of tests have been developed for more specific applications which include:
Diamond Drilling
Percussive Drilling – DTH
Percussive Drilling- top hammer
Raise and Shaft Drilling over 2 m diameter
Raise Borers under 3 m diameter
Road Headers
Rotary Drilling
Trenching
Tunnel Boring Machines.
