ventilation control devices, the installation of secondary support systems
including polyurethane injection, fenoflex injection and cavity filling. The Micon
explosion-rated seal and Rocsil cavity fill are industry leading products.

CASE STUDIESREMOTE ROCSIL FOAM VENT PLUGS
Case Study 1 - A NSW client was looking for a product that:
1. Could be delivered approximately 200m below the surface via a borehole, and2. Could provide an airtight seal to allow for pressurisation of the chamber between the seals.
A series of workshop trials were carried out to determine the most effective way to seal off the roadways using ROCSIL ® FOAM plugs. A two directional application head was developed. These workshop trials were followed by 7 underground applications.
Two boreholes were installed 8 – 12m apart. The first hole was used to lower hoses and a purpose-built remote applicator head. A camera was lowered down the second borehole and was fitted with a light and rotating lens to allow real time footage of the seals construction.
Case Study 2 – A QLD client was looking for a product that could be rapidly deployed:
1. From the surface to seam via a single 340m borehole to create a series of vent plugs to isolate a heating event in the longwall panel, and2. On the surface with exclusion zones in place to remotely seal the mine entries during a mine fire event
Labour, equipment and materials were mobilised, risk assessments undertaken and safe work procedures developed to successfully install a series of ROCSIL ® FOAM plug seals to the satisfaction of the client. Remarkedly no camera was used for the borehole vent plugs and remote-controlled equipment was used for the mine entry seals. This work highlights WMS’s capability to quickly respond to emergency situations and deliver safe and effective world-class results.
