Specialised Services

Comprehensive, highly-specialised technical solutions tailored to address the most demanding challenges in underground mining operations.

Ventilation Control

GR Support & Mining improves underground airflow by clearing blocked airways and managing waste relocation. We install SABS-approved fire-resistant brattices, safely positioned up to 30 meters from blast zones. These walls are durable, blast-resilient, and vital for safe ventilation control. Our 6-person crew installs up to 4 walls or 60 m² per shift, delivering efficient, compliant support for underground operations.

Support

GR Support & Mining delivers dependable ground support through the installation of high-strength roof bolts, essential for underground mine safety. Roof bolts stabilize tunnel roofs by anchoring loose rock layers. A resin-coated ribbed rod is inserted into a drilled hole, secured with a washer and nut. As the resin sets, it bonds the rod to the rock, reinforcing the structure and reducing the risk of collapse.

Anchors

GR Support & Mining installs mechanical anchors of any length for secondary support in hard rock mining. Commonly used in development ends and stopes, these anchors are typically full-column grouted and supplied complete with dome plates, barrels, wedges, and grout fittings.

Osro Straps

GR Support & Mining installs Osro straps for added underground support in areas experiencing ongoing deformation or seismic activity. These straps enhance ground stability and are ideal for challenging, high-risk mining environments.
