The Evolution of Rocscience
Rocscience was built upon the need for analysis, design, and visualization tools in the mining and civil engineering industries.
Starting in 1987, under the leadership of Dr. John Curran, the Rock Engineering Group at the University of Toronto developed and distributed geomechanics software to fill this need. The first suite of programs was supported in part by the Canadian Mining Industry and the provincial and federal governments.

Due to the growing software demand, Rocscience was formed in 1996 as a spin-off company from the University of Toronto to handle the increased distribution around the world.
Today, we continue to grow and push the evolution of ideas and technology, but our vision remains the same: To develop geotechnical software tools that help professional engineers in the civil and mining industries overcome the challenges they face every day.
