Mining products and backfill contracting on the West Rand
Witwatersrand gold reefs
Titan Mining's factory and workshop are at 14 Bussing Road, Aureus, Randfontein — inside the West Rand itself. Backfill bags, safety nets, tie-down straps and prop components are manufactured here, which makes this the shortest delivery run and the quickest turnaround we offer on repairs, re-work and replacement stock.
Mines around Randfontein, Krugersdorp, Roodepoort and Westonaria work the Witwatersrand gold reefs, with narrow-reef stoping, extensive backfill placement and long-life cross-cuts that need ongoing rehabilitation. That is the exact set of conditions the Titan range was built around from 2001 onwards.
Areas covered: Randfontein, Krugersdorp, Roodepoort, Mogale City, Westonaria.
Conditions in the West Rand
Narrow-reef stoping
Low stoping widths and variable hangingwall call for temporary support that goes in quickly and can be released from a safe distance. The patented Badger Prop was designed for that and is re-usable panel to panel.
Backfill placement
West Rand gold operations place large volumes of fill. Titan supplies the bags, portable safety bags, piping and reticulation, and can take the whole placement on as a contract with our own crews and supervision.
Mature workings
Older excavations need cross-cut rehabilitation — mud loading, track alignment, drains, rail and sleeper replacement — to bring access back to a usable standard without new development.
