We specialize in providing consultancy solutions for a wide range of resource issues. Whether geological, geophysical, geomechanical or engineering, we can help maximize your opportunities.
Consultancy Solutions
Golder has provided DFN-based consultancy to various industries, since the early days of the discrete fracture network approach. Technological advances within the industry plus FracMan software enhancements provide Golder’s clients with best-in-class workflow solutions that increase process efficiency and project success! As always, our global team of geologists, engineers and software developers are continually exploring innovations and best practices to add to the Fracman suite.
You can rely on Golder’s FracMan consultancy services to help solve problems throughout the lifespan of any project — from the initial planning and conceptualization stages though exploration, development and operation, to decommissioning.
FracMan software has been successfully applied to these core market sectors:
- Civil and Infrastructure
- Mining
- Oil, Gas and Renewable Energies
- Power and Nuclear Waste
Software
Golder’s proprietary FracMan® software suite provides unrivaled power to solve practical geological and engineering related issues, in civils and infrastructure, mining, oil, gas, renewables, and the power and nuclear waste industries.
Our premier software gives users the ability to test conceptual understanding, determine the best strategies, and quantify risks and uncertainties associated with industrial development of resources.
FracMan is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to characterizing, analyzing and understanding fractured rock system. With advanced input/output integration to other geological, geomechanical and flow simulators, FracMan has strong compatibility with most other products and tools employed in industry.
The FracMan DFN software suite is made available to industry through:
- Software sales
- Consultancy services
- Customized client developments
- Performing joint industry projects
FracMan provides everything you need to model the rock mass fracture system.
FracMan is the only Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model that fully captures the anisotropy and connectivity of the fracture system, providing a clear advantage over conventional modeling approaches.
FracMan software is designed to run on a variety of systems – from older laptops to multi processor workstations. It is available in both 32bit and 64bit versions (32bit is by request only).
FracMan provides unmatched power for hydrogeologic analysis of fractured rock.
Faults and fractures, karsts and other solution features are the key to exploiting groundwater in many parts of the world. Research has shown that major groundwater supply wells are best when located such that they intersect two or more fracture zones simultaneously.
The FracMan discrete fracture network (DFN) analysis approach provides a unique set of tools with potential benefits to oil, civil, mining, and environmental projects. To help the DFN approach reach this potential, Golder supports research and teaching of DFN approaches through partnerships with academic and research institutions worldwide.Training
Golder has significant experience providing expert FracMan training programs. All programs are designed to improve client productivity by giving users an understanding of the software’s development, its uses and how to apply it to their industry.
Understanding our clients’ needs and goals have been paramount in developing the software program to ensure maximum impact. Our training programs have been developed to provide different levels of education — from a basic understanding of the FracMan suite of software — to industry-tailored applications that will help you to learn the essentials that apply specifically to your business.
Client-based training courses in FracMan modeling are available! Find out how FracMan can be applied to a wide range of industries throughout the world.
