INNOVATIVE POLYMER SOLUTIONS FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

GALLERY STABILIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT

Using precision injection techniques, we enhance gallery stability and manage water pressure effectively:

• Observation Ports & Piezometric Stations: Real-time monitoring during polymer injection to track water pressure changes.

• Expansive Polymer Foam: Reduces water pressure while stabilizing voids and preventing water table fluctuations.

• Custom Solutions: Modified foam structures combat clogging and enhance long-term performance.

HIGH-PRESSURE WATER CONTAINMENT

Managing high-pressure water in mining operations requires robust solutions:

• Polymer-cement composites: Create durable plugs that withstand high pressures.

• Reinforced Casings: Steel casings enhance the durability and effectiveness of injected polymers.

• Engineering Support: Mathematical models ensure safety and efficacy, validated by third-party engineering reviews.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY STABILIZATION WITH GREEN POLYMERS

Sustainability is at the forefront of modern mining practices:

• FillFoam: An eco-friendly solution for stabilizing or re-purposing old mine shafts and galleries.

• Geopolymers: Vibration-free alternatives to traditional piles, minimizing impact on sensitive environments.

• Environmental Monitoring: Tailored polymer solutions mitigate water contamination and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

VOID FILLING AND SOIL STABILIZATION

For both new and old mines, polymer injection addresses critical stability issues:

• Expansive Polymers: Fill voids and improve load distribution in unstable soils.

• Kevlar-Enclosed Polymers: Encapsulation techniques protect polymers from external chemical or physical degradation.

• Dynamic Load Support: Tailored foam densities handle vibrations and seismic stresses effectively.

LEGACY MINE REINFORCEMENT

Old mines pose unique challenges due to structural instability and environmental risks:

• Ventilation Shaft Stabilization: FillFoam secures shafts and prevents further degradation.

• Dual-Purpose Polymers: Materials engineered for both structural support and water containment.

• Custom Mapping & Planning: Detailed assessments and site-specific solutions ensure safety and longevity.

NEW MINE CONSTRUCTION

Building on old mine sites or unstable foundations requires innovation:

• Polymer-Based Foundations: Non-invasive alternatives to piling, eliminating vibrations and protecting nearby operations.

• Arsenic Mitigation: Custom polymer solutions prevent contamination from heavy metals.

• Collaborative Demonstrations: On-site tests and visual aids educate stakeholders about polymer advantages.
