Block Caving
Hydraulic Fracturing Systems
Providing high quality and reliable systems to suit the individual requirements of our customers, is key to the success of our company. Through the continuous investigation in materials, development and the manufacturing process, we have positioned ourselves as experts in the fraccing industry.
While the concept of block caving as a mass mining process is not new, the benefits of cost and increased production makes it an attractive process. The method involves mining deep, large and low grade Ore bodies whereby a large section of rock is undercut, creating an artificial cave that fills with its own debris as it collapses. As a result, a pre-constructed series of funnels and access tunnels are developed, which enables miners to constantly extract from here. With the rise of mines accessing deeper and lower-grade ores, this method is becoming increasingly popular all around the world including Australia and Chile. To assist in increasing production rates related to block caving, high pressure pre-conditioning systems are required.
