The full cycle of mining works

The people, the equipment and the infrastructure are ours. The client receives finished volumes of mining work and a single contract instead of ten subcontracts.

01

Development and drifting of underground workings

Sheet 01 · Development
Rock drill at work · faceRock drill at work · face

Horizontal, inclined and vertical workings of any cross-section. Drill-and-blast method, mucking and haulage with our own equipment, any type of ground support to the client's design.

01.1Drifts, crosscuts, declines, access ramps
01.2Chambers and junctions
01.3Ground support: rock bolts, SVP steel arches, shotcrete

Capital mine development

Sheet 02 · Capital works

The full cycle of capital mine development at mines. We work alongside the client's own services: geology and survey, the technical department, drill-and-blast and ventilation and safety. Blasting follows agreed procedures, without stopping main production.

Ground support rehabilitation

Sheet 03 · Re-supporting
Barring down · back and wall inspectionBarring down · back and wall inspection

The most delicate work underground: replacing deformed ground support, restoring the working to its design cross-section, reinforcing the walls and back of underground workings. Our crews have been doing this for years — to quality and on schedule.

03.2Replacement of ground support elements

04

Use of phenolic resins

Sheet 04 · Resins

Filling voids with a foaming material and strengthening disturbed ground with two-component resins — a process that lets the work proceed productively and safely. Above all this is about safety: hazardous zones are stabilised quickly, and serious accidents involving falls of rock are prevented in advance.

04.1Foaming material — filling the voids that have formed
04.2Bonding material — strengthening the rock mass
Learn more: Phenolic resins →

A two-component foaming phenolic resin: once mixed, it expands rapidly in volume and forms a light but strong foam. It fills the voids formed underground, including those that are hard to reach — the hazardous zone is stabilised, and further deterioration and gas build-up are ruled out.

A two-component polyurethane resin with high adhesion to rock and to structural elements. It penetrates the finest fractures, strengthens unstable ground and anchors rock bolts, creating a solid monolith with the surrounding rock mass.

Mucking and haulage

Sheet 05 · Haulage
Mucking at the face · CAT LHDMucking at the face · CAT LHD

Haulage of muck with CAT R1300G LHD loaders and underground haul trucks with a payload of up to 20 tonnes. Our own fleet means predictable volumes and no dependence on someone else's equipment.
