Case Study Customer Name: The challenge UK coal mining industry Modern mining economics and techniques demand that products used in creating the infrastructure of a deep mine provide collieries with the highest level of operational efficiency possible. The cementitious structural components of the mine are therefore required to be high yield, fast acting and to a quality and safety standard that ensures the safety of those working in the challenging conditions of a deep mine. Project Name: Pozament Mining Solutions Location: UK-wide Overview: Since the early 1970s Tarmac Building Products (TBP) has supplied a wide range of cementitious products to the mining industry. The past 40 years has seen the landscape of British mining change dramatically, however Pozament mining solutions continue to be supplied to leading deep mine collieries such as UK Coal s three operational mines and independent collieries at Maltby and Hatfield. In meeting these challenges Pozament has developed solutions for its clients needs that deliver cost effective results in numerous ways; materials that offer ultra high-strength, high pumpability, long pipe-life, rapid gel and curing times as well as rapid strength gain. All products are available in palletised or 20kg bags, with the high volume products also available in intermediate bulk containers or bulk powder tankers. Crucially, there has never been a reported failure of one of the Pozament mining products and in an environment where health and safety is paramount, this is something in which Tarmac Building Products takes great pride. The science In meeting our clients needs a comprehensive range of cementitious mining products has been created including single bagged stopping and packing materials offering consistent quality, easier storage and handling; Astrablend and Minemaster S. Astrablend is a packing material that provides a very high yield value while also achieving early strength. Minemaster S is a highly versatile product that can be applied in packing, stoppings, air seals, back filling and ribside sealing. Both products offer reduced material and transport costs. Astrapak is a premium packing and stopping product that offers operational efficiencies and savings during application. Its dual compound system that only starts to gel at the point of application means that it can be pumped for distances up to 3km while remaining live in the pumping system for up to 3 days. With modern mining techniques replacing the use of steel work in strata reinforcement, the need for a high strength bolting grout becomes ever more prevalent. Pozament has developed two high performance bolt grouts. CBG is specifically formulated to form a strong bond with coal and shale strata while HPRG-CBG is designed to provide optimum bond with a rock substrate. Strataseal, is our spontaneous combustion control product where a fast acting solution is required. With an ultra rapid gel time and high expansion properties, hot-zones can be efficiently and effectively dammed.
Supply and service On an annual basis TBP supplies the UK coal mining industry with enough CBG and HPRG grout to secure over 31,000 strata reinforcement bolts as well as supplying approximately 2,000 tonnes of Minemaster S. The more specialist products such as Astrablend and Strataseal are an additional 300 tonnes. Our service levels and response times are consistently excellent which is something our customers rely upon. Customer comments T Webster Supply & Contracts Manager, UK Coal Following an incident on the coal face at Kellington Colliery, Pozament was quick to react in providing the necessary materials required to action a recovery plan leading UK Coal to comment, Everyone at the colliery appreciated the first class service Tarmac gave us, especially given the difficulties encountered with the British weather during that period. It is my belief that without your contribution and commitment, our recovery plan would not have worked as efficiently as it did. Ian Newitt Supply & Contracts Manager, Maltby Colliery Maltby Colliery produces approximately 1.2 million tonnes of coal per annum. In over 20 years of Pozament supplying cementitious mining products to the Maltby Colliery, I have found their supply and customer service to always be first class with the health and safety information and support provided for the products being clear and precise. We annually purchase approximately 7,000 bags of CBG used for both roof and rib side bolting and approximately 13,000 bags of 80/20 Cementitious grout. The products supplied meet the required specifications for the mining industry and have never faltered, with zero reported issues arising. Providing innovative products and unrivalled service to the mining industry for 40 years. Setting higher standards below ground. For enquiries and technical support please call us on 08444 630 046
