Stages of Design
- 1 Import your entire mine design, extracting spatial data to determine possible routing pathways.
- 2 Analyse stope solids to determine volumes and filling locations for your stopes.
- 3 Automatically develop a branched network from every stope to the backfill plant, running multiple scenarios to optimise pressure, flow rates, and costs (piping and binder).
- 4 Run dynamic hydraulic tests under variable process conditions to evaluate system reliability.
- 5 Generate a report with design recommendations or a full system design based on your requirements.
Retic App
Retic App (Visit Site)
A centralised platform for managing and optimising backfill operations. It provides easy access to essential data and tools to streamline your workflow, from scheduling to monitoring and analysis, helping you make informed decisions and improve operational efficiency.
Key Features
- Retic View - Interactive 3D visualization environment displaying designed reticulation network with integrated hydraulic modeling, enabling comprehensive design analysis and modelling.
- Pipe Track - Advanced pipeline management with wear monitoring, installation scheduling, and automated generation of bills of materials with 2D plans
- Crush Log - Secure cloud-based database for your paste QAQC with inbuilt data validation and automatic linking to stopes, confidently track your paste performance across all your stopes.
- Stope Fill - Analyse your stope design or CMS files, customise your backfill design for your requirements, develop composite pour plans, optimise binder usage.
- Paste Planner - Plan and schedule filling activities with ease with an interactive Gantt chart, linking stope designs you can develop a filling schedule to achievable utilisation targets.
- Dashboard - Monitor and review your backfilling operations with key performance metrics including: planned and achieved utilisation, and relative paste performance versus any process parameter you choose to track.
Material Mapping
Our approach to backfill design and material testing starts with understanding your process variability. We conduct a focused and efficiently mapped testing campaign to understand how each process parameter influences your backfill's performance. By mapping your material to a multivariate probability density function, we capture the full spectrum of strength and rheological properties across your operation's complete range of conditions.
Real-Time Slack Flow Detection
We offer several solutions, unconstrained by accurate survey data, that automate the detection of slack flow by utilising the pressure sensor data directly within the SCADA system. These solutions are bespoke for each mine and are encoded within the system to provide clear binary alerts to operators to indicate Slack Flow occurrence.
Stope Fill
A free backfill analysis and pour design tool developed by Retic Systems. Stope Fill makes backfill design simple and allows you to take control of your backfill. Its lightweight 3D environment allows you to quickly visualise and adjust designs, seamlessly generate composite pour plans, and optimise your binder usage. Stope Fill has now been integrated into Retic App, but a desktop version can also be downloaded here:
