Backfill and mining products for the Free State goldfields
Free State Witwatersrand gold reefs
The Welkom, Virginia and Odendaalsrus goldfields run deep, mature narrow-reef operations where backfill placement, water handling and the rehabilitation of older excavations dominate day-to-day underground work.
Titan Mining supplies the full product range to Free State operations and quotes contracting work on the same basis as the Gauteng goldfields. Everything is manufactured at Randfontein and delivered against each order.
Areas covered: Welkom, Virginia, Odendaalsrus, Allanridge, Matjhabeng.
Conditions in the Free State
Backfill in mature workings
Backfill bags, portable safety bags and water reticulation are supplied to spec, with the reticulation system preventing fines washing down into the cross-cuts.
Long haulages and cross-cuts
Cross-cut rehabilitation — mud loading, track alignment, drain and pump installation, rail and sleeper replacement — restores access without new development.
Water management
Mud accumulators and water weir eliminators keep service water controlled and fines out of the pumping circuit.
