This Presentation describes the geological and geotechnical challenges faced in developing a shaft in the unconsolidated sediments of the Kalahari Formation and weathered tillite of the Dwyka Formation. It also outlines the measures that were put in place to mitigate the potential risks during shaft sinking.
