Farzaan’s work focuses on geotechnical investigation, mine backfill systems, tailings studies, rock mechanics, and underground spaces as well as geothermal energy application in mining. His areas of expertise include the thermo-physical properties of geomaterials, geomechanical laboratory testing, slope stability, and underground mining. At Barr, Farzaan provides geotechnical investigation, testing, and analysis primarily for wind projects; tailings facility investigation, design, construction, and instrumentation services; dyke and tailings pile inspection; and rock and soil slope stability assessment including stabilization measures analysis and numerical modeling. He has also published a number of papers on topics related to mine backfill.
