Depending on the problem or risk we are dealing with, the following options are available:
ROCK SCALING.
This is a process of safe removal of loose and unstable rocks on the face of the slope, steep terrain or cliffs to prevent rockfalls. This can be done manually using crow bars and other tools or mechanically using rock airbags.
ROCK BREAKING.
The process of fracturing or fragmenting rocks on the mine high wall. This is done to assists operations with blasting on areas that are inaccessible such as slope benches.
SLOPE MONITORING.
We do installation of slope monitoring devises on mine high walls.
ROCKFALL BARRIER.
This is a system designed to catch falling rocks or boulders from reaching mine haul roads or damaging mining infrastructure or people.
SLOPE STABILISATION.
This is what we refer to as active solution as it prevents slope failure by ensuring the stability of the slope. The slope is draped with a high tensile wire mesh and pinned.
DRAPE MESH.
Drape mesh system is a passive rockfall protection solution which is used to prevent falling rocks, boulders and debris from slope. It controls the movement of the rocks and boulders preventing them from free falling onto mine haul roads.
