The UQ Young Achievers Program was launched in 2009 to assist students from low-income backgrounds to access tertiary education. The students are from state schools, and often rural Queensland, where they will be the first in their family to attend tertiary education. So far over 370 Young Achievers have been welcomed to the program. MineGeoTech’s
LiDAR survey technology presents high-resolution mapping capabilities, and when used in a geotechnical insight capacity, can provide engineers with valuable rock mass response awareness for mine infrastructures such as weak-structure mapping, the locations of any water ingress points, and potential stress-induced damage. In 2019, MineGeoTech Senior Geotechnical Engineer Richard Varden and sister company MineLiDAR
