As geotechnical engineers, structural geology is at the very core of everything we do. This month, I personally dive into the importance of structural geology and why it’s imperative we look at the rocks first.

As geotechnical professionals, we are responsible for providing accurate advice about mine design and operations, and laboratory testing is one of the avenues that enables us to do just that.

In this month’s edition, we dig deep into the importance of geotechnical lab testing within the mining, resources and construction industries.

Like a geologist chipping away at rock, let's unearth the hidden layers of Colin Purvis, Technical Manager at Trilab, by asking all the important questions.

From how he got his start in the industry to hearing what trends he believes will become more important in coming years’, Colin shares some profound insight into laboratory testing and the importance of geotechnical assessment.
