Mining & Process Technology

Paterson & Cooke’s skills and experience are an excellent resource to help our clients develop new technology for mining and mineral process applications.

Paterson & Cooke have made important contributions in developing new technology for hydraulic hoisting, deep mine backfilling, marine mining and dredging, and process control. This work is supported by our extensive laboratories and computational fluid dynamics capability.

Hydraulic hoisting has the potential to be one of the most cost effective methods of transporting ore from underground to surface. We have been involved in the analysis of a number of proposed hydraulic hoisting systems and can advise clients on ore feeder techniques and perform hydraulic and engineering analysis of hydraulic hoisting systems.
