Petrographic Testing in Quarrying

Petrographic analysis is a specialised field of geology that involves the study of rocks and minerals at a microscopic level. This discipline is critical in the Australian and international quarrying and mining industry, as it helps identify the characteristics and properties of different materials, and can determine their suitability for different uses.

In recent years, there have been significant developments in the field of engineering petrographic, particularly in the area of technology and analytical technics. This has allowed geologists to more accurately and efficiently analyse rocks and minerals, and to extract valuable insight. They can inform decision making in the quarrying and mining industry. While there have been many advancements the core skills of petrographic analysis continues to be the identification and classification of rocks and minerals by microscope analysis.

Overall, the field of petrographic analysis is vital to the Australian quarrying and mining industry and continues to evolve and advance through the use of new and old technologies and analytical techniques. By staying up-to-date with these developments, Scope Geo can ensure that we are able to accurately and efficiently analyse and assess the materials that are critical to the success of our clients and the industry as a whole.
