Our team are experienced in the investigation of backfill materials, and the design and operation of backfill plants within the mining and minerals processing industries. Designing, constructing and operating a backfill system that reliably meets performance requirements is critical to the safety and financial success of an underground operation. pitt&sherry apply their backfill materials, plant design and operating system knowledge in the following areas:Scoping, pre-feasibility, feasibility, design and costing studies.Backfill system optimisationMaterial characterisation and mix design optimisationOperational systems design including safety procedure, barricade design and fill sequencingOperational systems audits, trouble shooting and on-site backfill technical supportGeotechnical backfill performance modelling including local and regional stability analysis, and numerical modelling.
