Expert Consulting in Mining Geomechanics and Backfill Engineering

NEMCCO is a geotechnical consulting and software firm specializing in numerical modeling, geomechanical design, and backfill engineering for underground and open-pit mining operations worldwide.

We help mining companies reduce geotechnical risk, optimize backfill systems, and improve operational safety and efficiency using state-of-the-art tools like FLAC3D, RS2, RS3, IMAT, and Map3D.

Our services include:

  • Backfill system audits and design (paste, hydraulic, cemented rockfill)

  • Numerical modeling of ground stability

  • Seismicity and stress modeling for deep mining

  • Training for in-house geotechnical teams

Trusted by mining operators in Canada, USA, South America, Europe, Africa, and beyond.

Our Services

Training on 3D modelling tools, detailed engineering, site secondment, design methods in mining geomechanics/ rock mechanics, backfill systems, instrumentation, and more.

UG Mining

To safely perform drilling, blasting, excavation, and backfilling operations, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of how rock and soil will behave under different circumstances, especially under load.

Open Pit

Our approach uses the latest developments in open pit design and planning including probabilistic analysis capabilities and coupled conditions of stress and pore water pressure to evaluate the potential geo-risks.

Geotechnical Design

Our goal is to assist our clients in reaching their project milestones by reducing uncertainties, risks, costs, and delays, while increasing productivity, production, and ultimately, profits.

Backfill Systems

Underground backfilling provides an attractive method for minimizing the engineering and environmental challenges commonly associated with the disposal of mineral wastes on surface. 

Numerical Modelling

High-end 2D and 3D modeling using Rocscience suites, Map3D, Flac3D, and other industry-leading software is our specialty.  That's why we use the most suitable and advanced software available in the market.

Personnel Training

Geomechanical data collection, integration into numerical modeling, and interpretation of models are highly specialized tasks. Therefore, it is vital that personnel performing these tasks have been trained by individuals with substantial technical knowledge.
