Mines

Mining operations play a key role in the future of humanity, with critical minerals required for the transition to low carbon economy and enabling ongoing growth for countries. DYWIDAG provides a range of ground and mining support products and services that help to ensure stability, safety and efficiency of mining operations.

Underground metal mining

As underground metal mines extend deeper, and with an increased uptake in caving methods to extract lower grade ores, advanced ground support systems are requried to allow resource extraction in these challenging environments. With increased siesmicity and converging ground, development cycle times are becoming challenged, impacting operational efficiences. DYWIDAG's ground support range is designed in response to these challenges as well as supporting mines with stable conditions. We are the distributor for Epiroc ground support range in the Australia Pacific region, with our range including:

• DYWIDAG Friction bolts, resin anchored bolts, hollow bolts and cable bolts
• DYWIDAG DYWI-Loc resin capsules
• DYWIDAG GFRP Face Support System
• DYWIDAG Steel Mesh
• Epiroc Vulcan Hybrid bolts & Par1 Dynamic Resin Bolts
• Epirox BoltexP^® Pumpable resin

Open Pit Mining Systems

Managing pit wall stability is a key aspect for open pit mines, with ground movement and rock falls causing substantial impacts on mine productivity and worker safety.Utilising ground support systems, mines are able

optimise pit designs by steepening slope angles and maintaining catch berm designs. DYIWDAG's range of systems has been proven globally to enhance open pit mining operations. Our systems include:

• DYWIDAG Hollow bars, cable bolts and rock bolts for slope stabilisation
• DYWIDAG Gewi systems for shear pin reinforcement
• DYWIDAG multi strand cable systems for slope optimisation
• DYWIDAG HTH rockfall netting to manage rockfall risks
