LABORATORY
Precise measurements, prompt turnaround, and high-quality reporting and digital data.
Irazu and the support of Geomechanica have been really helpful in our brittle fracture modelling research. We are really excited about the potential future advances in our understanding of rock engineering problems and in particular developments in 3D fracture simulation
