Underground Mining
Underground Production
We can deliver ground support management plans associated with any production scenario. Our operations include drill, blast, load (including teleremote), haul and backfill processes.
Ownership of a mechanised cable bolting fleet and in-house shotcreting further augments our capabilities.
Raise Drilling
Our experienced teams regularly deliver raise drilling in combination with other shaft development services ranging from site setup, collar (foundation) development, presinks, full face benching, horidiam, stripping, lining, ground support and project management.
Shaft Sinking and Lining
Our dedicated shaft sinking and engineering teams have world-class experience in designing and constructing major shaft hoisting systems and can tailor a complete package from feasibility, through to design, supply and construction.
Shotcreting
Our shotcreting services include slope stabilisation, portal development, in-cycle spraying of underground development headings, barricade construction, mining through backfill and difficult ground conditions, and rehabilitation work. We are also experienced in civil shotcrete application.
Cable Bolting
Our cablebolting operations are structured to ensure complete maintenance and supervision. Each team can operate independently on site. Where conditions permit, installation of more than 5,500m single or twin strand cable bolts per month can be achieved.
