Twin strand cables replaced with Falcon Bolts at Tomingley Gold Operations
This case study, conducted between Tomingley Gold Operations and Jennmar Australia, explores the full-scale adoption of pre-tensioned, post-grouted self-drilling bolts in lieu of manually installed cable anchors for intersection support, brow support, and other applications where cable bolts are typically implemented. The data required to justify and drive the change was collected during early trials and is also presented in this case study. The removal of cable cutting, pushing, plating and tensioning stages, as well as eliminating reliance on elevated work platforms for cable installations reduced the risk of associated injury to workers. Improvements in installation efficiency, the adoption of fast setting resins in place of cement grouts and the development of a high-capacity steel provide further opportunity for schedule optimisation and rapid development.
