PROJECT OVERVIEW
Geovert were engaged to enhance wall stability and maintain critical catch bench geometry at Detour Lake Mine in Canada. The project's objective focused on preserving pit design specifications while optimizing mineral extraction potential. The remote location demanded detailed planning to ensure continuous operations without impacting site production.

PROJECT SOLUTION
The deployment of specialized drilling equipment enabled the installation of ground support up to 12 meters in both height and depth. A Geovert Superboom with drill mast attachment was mobilized to site, allowing rapid transition between drilling locations while maintaining precise operational control. The systematic approach included drilling, grouting of anchors, and installation of nuts and plates across multiple elevations.
Equipment selection eliminated the need for additional crane support, enabling a streamlined crew to complete the work efficiently. The successful installation enhanced wall stability while preserving designed catch bench geometry, contributing to the site's ongoing operational safety and production capabilities.
