Víctor Martínez Email and Phone Number
Geologist with 10 years of experience in geological-geotechnical, hydrogeological and exploration projects (IOCG and Porphyry copper deposits) in Chile, participation in projects in Mexico and Argentina and previous experience in sedimentology in Spain and France. Extensive experience in supervision of DDH and RC drilling in geotechnical and hydrogeological campaigns focused on mine engineering and tailings dams, having a solid knowledge in geological and geotechnical logging of DDH cores and RC cuttings, having been a QA/QC leader of loggings and creation of geotechnical databases in different campaigns by using standards and recommendations such as ASTM, USCS, ISRM, RMR, Q and GSI. I have also been a supervisor of SPT, Lugeon and Lefranc tests, as well as the installation of vibrating wire and Casagrande piezometers. Experience in projects in mining sites such as Escondida, El Abra, Quebrada Blanca, Caserones, Pelambres or Los Bronces, among others.Fields:GeologyGeotechnicsHydrogeologyMiningSedimentology
