Backfill operations represent 25 to 30% of the overall mining costs. Thus, optimization of the backfill process leads to significant total mining cost reductions as well as improved mining production.

Backfill material types and processes are various but generally require a blend of binders, process water and aggregates to provide the required amount of restraint to enable massive strategic support for the ore extraction sequence within mining cycle.

Master Builders Solutions takes a scientific approach to this challenge that can help mining companies understand and run backfill operations at lower risks and lower costs with higher efficiency through our tailor-made chemistry and backfill expertise. With over 30 years of experience in backfill, Master Builders Solutions has been a pioneer in creating admixtures for backfill in the mining industry.

This extensive range of mine backfilling solutions has been developed to provide the optimum balance of high early strength and sustainable long-term strength, ensuring dimensional stability after placement by meeting (or exceeding) design fill performance requirements. Depending on the site-specific requirements, Master Builders Solutions offers an extensive range of customized solutions: rheology enhancers, viscosity modifiers, and hydration control as well as water reducers, superplasticizers and durability enhancers.
