The Division realizes the following projects in the range of underground engineering and geo-engineering:

  • statistical calculations, determination of load capacity and designing of supports for mine workings,
  • expert opinions on shaft supports,
  • determination of support stabilization coefficient for sprags,
  • determination of method for protecting workings and underground structures,
  • projects of liquidation of shafts and other workings,
  • designs of water dams,
  • analyses of geotechnical constructions stability,
  • designing of tunnel workings.

KOMAG is authorized by the State Mining Authority to perform tasks of experts for mining plant operation (No. 207/2011) in the scope of selecting bolts, shaft supports and supports of workings of the cross-section exceeding 30 m2.

Activity of the Division of Applied Vibroacoustics focuses on the two following subjects:

  • research,
  • designing of buildings, objects and equipment.

In the research area we offer:

  • acoustic analyses, ecological audits as regards acoustic impact,
  • analyses of vibrations,
  • numerical models of land and GIS technologies,

  • modelling of acoustic field in the environment and closed spaces (with determination of impact range and identification of sound sources),
  • concepts for reduction of sound emission and mechanical vibrations,
  • forecasting of changes in acoustic climate,
  • acoustic maps and programmes for protection of environment against noise,
  • vibroacoustic diagnostics as well as assessments of exposure of building/engineering objects to mechanical vibrations.

In the designing area we offer:

  • functional-and-spatial programmes,
  • designs as regards control of vibroacoustics hazards, including:

-    acoustic screens,
-    sound absorbing-and-isolating shields and casings,
-    silencers,
-    sound absorbing-and-isolating and lector cabins,
-    vibroisolation of objects, machines and equipment,

  • designs as regards foundation of machines,
  • designs as wellas design-and-construction projects,
  • cost calculations and construction take-offs,
  • scheduling of construction work,
  • supervision over the realization of investments.

We also realize trainings and promotional activity as regards control of noise and vibrations emission.
