Equips rock engineers, mine planners and production officials to understand, monitor and control seismicity and rockburst risk in deep hard rock mines common to the South African gold and platinum sectors. The programme links mining layout, support design and seismic data interpretation so teams can reduce fall of ground and rockburst exposure. Real seismic event case studies from Southern African deep level operations anchor the practical exercises.
