Underground—APAC—Australia—Mining
Delivering Ground Support Cost Efficiencies:
The DSI-PEAK Resin Bolting System
In 2015, DSI Australia released the new DSI-PEAK Resin Bolting System to the underground coal mining market.
This new system increases mining efficiency through improved ground stability without major changes to
equipment or operational practices.
The DSI-PEAK System promotes the positive
attributes of resin bolting methods while
minimising potential technical deficiencies.
The system characteristics include:
improved resin mixing reliability, reduced
gloving, reduced resin pressures, robust
pre-tensioning, reduced installation times,
14
high fracture toughness and the ability
to re-tension the bolt after installation.
The system is a product of all its elements
working in concert; that is, the resin matched
to the bolt, the increased annulus and the
plate size along with the un-encapsulated
section of bolt to provide a solid beam in the
roof of the mine. Each piece of the bolting
system is matched and therefore is sold only
as a complete system. The feedback from all
mines currently using the system has been
positive without exception: They have seen
considerable improvement in strata control,
paired with benefits in operation efficiency
and reductions in secondary support.
