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 optimisation
• Material characterisation and mix design optimisation
• Operational systems design including safety procedure, barricade design and fill sequencing
• Operational systems audits, trouble shooting and on-site backfill technical support
• Geotechnical backfill performance modelling including local and regional stability analysis, and numerical modelling.
