Case Study
Backfill - Cement slurry injection to an underground mine
A mine needed to backfill new tunnels. The cement plant was located on the surface, as a consequence they required a flexible pipe that could go through the robbins, which were not installed in a straight line. In addition, they needed a pipe with high resistance to abrasion, since they needed to transport cement in a free fall. The Solution - Due to this special circumstances, the client requested Pexgol pipes since they can be provided in 600 meters sections, they are flexible and highly resistant to abrasion and impacts. The pipe sections were uncoiled hundreds of meters from the installation place, later they were descended with a hydraulic crane.
