Backfill Inc. offers contracted paste production and placement services.

Fully mobile paste operations

We deploy our specialized mobile paste operations at the injection site. Our fully mobile setup allows us to easily manoeuvre from borehole to borehole as needed. Our equipment is agile, adaptable, and able to access challenging fill sites.

Flexible battery limits

The scope of contracted work is negotiable as per each project’s specific needs. Our full capabilities include all aspects of paste mixing and placement, including tailings harvesting, screening, lab work, processing, and placement, as well as quality control and monitoring.

Backed by the best technical minds

As a specialist contractor owned by Paterson & Cooke, we have access to the best and brightest technical minds in the paste and backfill industry. Our team includes tailings experts, mechanical and hydraulics engineers, cement chemists, and barricade designers.

Extensive operational experience

Our team’s technical knowledge, coupled with extensive operational experience on-site, equips us to safely and effectively deal with challenging projects, environmental problems, and stability issues. We are able to fill caverns that pose a safety issue for other equipment by adjusting the recipe and flow rate and filling remotely.

Sustainable practices

We are committed to producing the highest quality work and upholding our principles of environmental stewardship. Backfilling improves ground stability and has a positive environmental impact by recycling material and placing waste back underground. Our operations can mitigate subsidence and we include protective measures such as containment, spill management, and dust control.
