PT Gane Tambang Sentosa (PT GTS), a nickel mining company subsidiaries of Harita Group, has partnered with TURA, a mining consulting firm specializing in geotechnical, hydrological, and hydrogeological expertise. TURA assists PT GTS in conducting investigations related to soil, rock, and water systems within the project area. These investigations are crucial to ensure that mining operations can be carried out safely and efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.
The services provided by TURA’s team cover several key aspects. First, Tura conduct Rock and Soil Investigations, which aim to understand the physical and mechanical characteristics of materials at the project site. This helps in designing stable structures, such as mine slopes or infrastructure foundations. Second, TURA also performs Hydrogeological Investigations, focusing on groundwater studies, including how water moves beneath the surface and how it may affect mining operations. Third, TURA carries out Hydrological Investigations, which study surface water cycles, such as river flow or rainfall, to manage potential flooding or erosion risks. Once all investigations are completed, TURA compiles a comprehensive report containing the results of geotechnical, hydrological, and hydrogeological analyses. This report serves as a foundation for PT GTS in making technical decisions and project planning.
With TURA’s support, PT GTS gains an in-depth understanding of site conditions before commencing mining operations. This not only aids in technical planning but also ensures that the project progresses with a strong emphasis on safety and environmental sustainability. Such collaborations are common in the mining industry, where a thorough understanding of geological and hydrological conditions is key to the success of a project
