Cementation

Cementation is more than reinforcement it is the foundation of safe mining progress, securing underground structures, sealing fractures, and enabling mining operations to advance with confidence and sustainability.

What is Cementation?
Cementation is a vital process in underground mining, used to stabilize rock formations and control water and gas. By injecting specially prepared grout mixtures into underground zones, cementation strengthens weak structures, seals fractures, and ensures safer, more efficient mining operations. This technique is essential for maintaining structural integrity, protecting workers, and extending the life of mining infrastructure.
