Introduction

Gemini Terrain includes a dedicated module for the design and calculation of excavations. This module is highly flexible and suitable for everything from simple site planning to large industrial areas and mass extractions.

These chapters cover the entire process of defining, calculating, and presenting various terrain interventions. You will learn about both simple and complex excavations, handling multiple soil layers, and controlled blasting.
