Our operation HCA operates as a partnership between the business entities of the two principals. We offer shared services and products where possible, yet can operate independently if necessary. |
Structural philosophy Tim and Rod bring two different viewpoints and backgrounds to structural problems, yet we operate from a common conviction that structural solutions should flow from a detailed understanding of the geometry and of the time-space framework. That is, interpretations should be solidly based on field data, and not be over-reliant on theoretical models. |
Holcombe Coughlin and Associates is a consortium of two independent European and Australian-based geological consultancies specialising in the application of modern structural techniques to the global resource industry. [download flyer (280 Kb) ]
