Structural integrity of fibre reinforced concrete tunnels

We offer specialised services in the simulation of fibre-reinforced tunnel linings, leveraging our expertise in fracture propagation using both FEM and FDEM. Our approach enables the accurate representation of crack initiation and propagation in fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) structures, providing valuable insights into the serviceability and ultimate limit state behaviour of tunnel linings. By simulating discrete fractures, we capture the complex interaction between fibres and the concrete matrix, improving the accuracy of stress redistribution predictions compared to traditional continuum methods. Our work has been validated through real-world case studies, demonstrating our capability to enhance tunnel lining designs, optimise performance, and mitigate failure risks. We are experts in this field, having published highly cited peer-reviewed articles and reports for the UK Institution of Civil Engineers.

Geothermal well integrity

We provide expert services in assessing the structural integrity of geothermal wells, drawing on our experience in modelling the stability of lateral boreholes using both FEM and FDEM. Our approach accurately captures the interaction between the wellbore and surrounding rock under complex thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical conditions. By simulating crack initiation and propagation, as well as stress redistribution, we help optimise well design and mitigate risks such as collapse and fluid flow blockage. Members of our team were part of the European Horizon 2020 SURE project, which demonstrates our capability to enhance geothermal well performance, ensuring safe and efficient energy extraction.
