Meet the Crew
We’re a pretty happy group here at Geotechnicoal. Our team is passionate, dependable, and results oriented! Who we are determines what we do. So let’s meet the team and also look at what we do.
What we do
That’s partly true, but in a coal mining context Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers are highly skilled professionals that are concerned with understanding the earth, its composition and how it is likely to respond to mining activities.
In addition to work at the 'coalface', Geotechnicoal has also created a successful Strata Monitoring Application used in underground coal mines throughout Queensland and New South Wales.
Mick completed his undergraduate studies in Geology and Exploration Geophysics at the University of Queensland and his Masters in Mining Engineering (Mine Geomechanics) at UNSW.
