In 2023, MineFill completed the detailed engineering and design of a paste reticulation system for the Jabal Sayid mine in Saudi Arabia. The project included the design of a 1,200-metre overland paste pumping system together with both surface and underground reticulation infrastructure.
The scope required a coordinated engineering approach to ensure reliable paste transport while supporting the operational requirements of the mine’s underground backfill system.
Project budget
The project required the design of an integrated paste reticulation system capable of transporting material efficiently between surface facilities and underground mining areas.
The inclusion of a 1,200-metre overland pumping system introduced additional engineering considerations around system reliability, routing and long-term operational performance.
MineFill provided detailed engineering services covering both surface and underground reticulation networks, ensuring a coordinated approach across the entire backfill distribution system.
The design incorporated the overland paste pumping infrastructure and supporting reticulation components required to deliver paste safely and efficiently throughout the operation.
The completed engineering package provided the foundation for the implementation of a reliable paste reticulation system tailored to the operational requirements of the Jabal Sayid mine.
Through specialist backfill engineering expertise, MineFill delivered a practical solution that supported the project’s long-term underground mining objectives.
