  Background Expertise Staff Contact

 

While initially staffed predominantly with graduates from the University of Minnesota, ICG has expanded to include engineers from many universities in the United States and abroad. Currently, the consulting practice at ICG includes: heavy involvement with the mining industry, particularly in Canada; the evaluation of waste isolation schemes in the U.S. and Canada; and a variety of services in reservoir engineering, defense, and civil engineering (including tunnels, dams, and slopes). The ability of Itasca codes to model the dynamic behavior of materials has led, in part, to a significant portion of the work at ICG being involved with the analysis of various structures (slopes, tailings dams, tunnels) subjected to dynamic loading with natural and blast-induced seismicity and of the potential for liquefaction in saturated soils.

Almost all of Itasca's code development is completed at ICG, where software enhancements can be given a rigorous testing by practicing engineers. The software products are then sold through the various Itasca offices and through 15 additional code agents worldwide. Itasca codes have been sold and leased to more than 2000 customers in more than 45 countries, placing them among the most frequently used numerical methods for geotechnical analyses.

Itasca Consulting Group, Inc. is a private, employee-owned company incorporated in the State of Minnesota.
