Mincad Systems was founded by Ken McNabb and Leigh Wardle.
Founders
Their work covers computational mechanics, mining engineering and pavement design in Australia and overseas.
Geotechnical instrumentation and numerical modelling
Ken has worked on underground coal mining layouts, dam subsidence, geotechnical instrumentation and numerical modelling, including the Melbourne Underground.
Ken McNabb, experience and background
Pavement design software and computational mechanics
Leigh is the author of CIRCLY, APSDS and HIPAVE. His background is in applied mathematics, physics and mining engineering.
Leigh Wardle, experience and backgroundHow we work
The practice draws on research experience and consulting. Numerical methods are used where stress, deformation, stability and ground behaviour need to be understood in some detail.
Work has been carried out for mining companies, government departments, infrastructure organisations and research bodies.
