MineFill provides practical, specialist technical advice across the early stages of a backfill project from scoping and feasibility studies to concept and basic engineering drawing on decades of hands-on backfill system experience.
Years experience
Years combined experience
From scoping and feasibility through to concept and basic engineering, MineFill’s consulting covers the full front end of a backfill project.
01
Scoping Studies
Early definition of backfill options, constraints and opportunities for a site.
02
Feasibility Studies
Conceptual to basic engineering level studies for backfill and paste plants.
03
Concept & Basic Engineering
Plant configuration, PFDs, P&IDs, load lists and equipment lists.
04
Backfill Geomechanics
Exposure and bulkhead analysis, target strengths and binder optimisation.
05
Mix Design & Optimisation
Mix designs and optimisation across unconsolidated, cemented, paste and hydraulic fills.
06
Strength Assessments
Backfill target strengths and exposure analysis grounded in real operations.
07
Numerical Modelling
Advanced simulation of backfill behaviour and geo-mechanical requirements.
08
Equipment Sizing & Selection
Equipment Sizing & Selection
09
CAPEX / OPEX Costing
Capital and operating cost estimates supported by a maintained vendor cost library.
10
Project Scheduling
Project scheduling and trade-off studies to compare backfilling alternatives.
Our consulting is grounded in real project delivery. Because MineFill also engineers, builds and commissions backfill systems, our studies and recommendations are practical and implementable not theoretical.
Early involvement allows key design decisions to account for site-specific requirements, production targets and long-term operational objectives.
MineFill carries the same team and knowledge through to EPC delivery from detailed engineering to a commissioned, operational plant.
