Mine surveying and geomechanics
The Laboratory performs the following work on mine surveying:
- construction and development of mine surveying reference, and plan and vertical control networks in mine workings, surveying in mine workings and on the land surface, preparing mine surveying documentation and expansion of document collection, staking
and fixing of geometry elements of mine workings, communication lines, boreholes, etc., boundaries of safe mining operations, barrier and safety pillars, protective zones and technical areas of buildings and structures, etc.;

- estimation and accounting ( on the basis of instrumental measurements, mine surveying and geological documentation) of the scope of main mining, construction and assembly processes;
- surveying of buildings, engineering structures, service lines, etc., systematizing of information;
- supervision of compliance of urban underground structure construction projects, design and technical documentation;
The Laboratory personnel participate in the development of measures aimed at the perfection of industrial safety and perform instrumental monitoring of the processes of rock movement, mine workings, buildings and structures located in the areas of mining effect with the subsequent analysis of monitoring results.
Development and design of mine surveying projects, and preparing the reports on the implemented mine survey projects. Besides, the Laboratory designs monitoring station projects and prepares recommendations on the perfection of management and methods of work and implementation of monitoring based on a broad range of achievements of science, technology and advanced practice.
