Paste Holes

Paste holes are boreholes drilled in underground mines to inject a cement-like mixture (paste) into excavated areas. This process, known as paste fill, is crucial for ground support, ore recovery, and waste management.

Application

  • Backfill underground spaces
  • Create dewatering wells
  • Install casing in boreholes
  • Address complex underground conditions
A mechanical arm grips a cylindrical object, in front of an orange industrial machine. The area around the machine appears to be a dusty or dirty workshop floor. The scene likely depicts part of a manufacturing or repair process.

Benefits

  • Provides significant ground support, reducing the risk of collapses and ensuring safer working conditions.
  • Improves the ground stability
  • Management of water is done effectively
  • Support the underground infrastructure
  • Has the ability to adapt to various geological conditions
