ABOUT
Bringing together multi-disciplinary expertise in rock mechanics, computer science, and physical mathematics
OUR MISSION
Design & Develop
We help solve challenging rock mechanics problems.
Engineering excellence
We provide insights through state-of-the-art rock fracture simulations.
Value our clients
We show our clients what they can expect next, because they cannot afford to take chances.
OUR VALUES
Research thoroughly
Leading-edge research is at the core of what we do. From our software simulations to our consulting, we are experts in our field.
Listen effectively
We build our business on openness, approachability and accessibility to provide the best products, services and working environment.
Improve continuously
We are committed to new ideas and solving problems in a better way, every day.
COMPANY HISTORY
The company was formed to provide simulation-aided solutions to challenging rock mechanics problems
Geomechanica Inc. is a privately-owned company incorporated in 2010 in Toronto, Canada, by a group of former University of Toronto scholars.
Finite-discrete
element method
(FDEM)
To achieve the above goal, a state-of-the-art modelling approach, based on the finite-discrete element method (FDEM) has been developed in combination with the adoption of high performance computing techniques. Further R&D efforts resulted in the first commercial version of Geomechanica’s FDEM software Irazu (in 2D) in 2015 and the first 3D version in 2016.
CONSULTING PROJECTS
Since 2012, Geomechanica has been involved in several consulting projects worldwide, including the assessment of the excavation damaged zone for the site selection process of a deep geological repository for nuclear waste.
Rock mechanics
laboratory
The year 2015, also saw Geomechanica's offering expanded by opening a rock mechanics laboratory serving the civil and mining engineering industries.
