Abstract
Paterson & Cooke’s involvement with the Boulby mine backfill system began with the initial investigation studies in the mid-1990s and continued through detailed design, construction, to commissioning in 2003 with further ad hoc post-commissioning assistance. A number of papers were published at international conferences during this period and this chapter brings together these past publications (Fehrsen et al. 2002; Wilkins et al. 2004; Keen et al. 2007) and provides a holistic overview of the project from the initial study phase to full-scale operations.
