Mine Backfill

The design of deep level backfill distribution systems for hydraulic and paste backfill was revolutionized by Paterson & Cooke’s full flow design methodology. Our expertise covers recipe formation, backfill production plants, pump and pipeline delivery systems through to stope placement. Our services include laboratory testing, backfill mix design and binder optimization, feasibility studies, engineering, commissioning and start-up as well as on-site training and contracted backfill placement.

Paterson & Cooke continues to set the standard for backfill service by performing our own in-house test work. We understand the science behind the solution and are able to implement robust designs that have been proven in the field through feedback from our commissioning teams – we know what works and what doesn’t.
