Accurate geological and geotechnical three-dimensional models are essential for understanding subsurface conditions and supporting design decisions. At ITASCA, we apply advanced modeling techniques to integrate structural, geotechnical, and geological data into robust frameworks, tailored to project needs.

By combining field data, laboratory results, and advanced modeling workflows, our experienced staff deliver engineering geological models that reduce uncertainty and support more effective engineering solutions.

Some of the services we provide in this field include:

• 3D major structures modeling – representation of key geological structures to support geotechnical analysis and mine or infrastructure planning.
• Structural domains modeling – delineation of domains based on structural fabric and orientation.
• Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modeling – simulation of fracture systems to assess their impact on rock mass behavior, stability, and hydrogeology.
• Rock mass quality modeling – models representing the spatial variations in rock mass quality (e.g. RQD models, GSI models).
• Geotechnical units modeling – definition and representation of geotechnical domains that provide a solid foundation for geomechanical modeling.
• Dynamic data updates – integrating new information to continuously refine models, interpretations, and recommendations.
