Retic Systems Information

Retic Systems is an independent backfill consultant, specialising in reticulation system designs and operation. We believe in data driven design, leveraging our custom software packages to provide you both functional and cost effective solutions. Retic Router, is a our patent pending backfill system design and management tool. We take your mine design model, stope data, backfill performance and develop an optimised branch network. Our designs are both hydraulic feasible, mitigating the risk of Slack Flow, and cost optimised, minimising your unit cost of backfill. Whether you have an active paste backfill system and are looking to reduce operating costs, or if you are undertaking a feasibility study and need to undertake a trade-off study to select your backfill composition, Retic Router can provide the designs you need. Stope Fill, is our free backfill analysis and pour design application. Available from 15th April on Windows/Linux/Mac. Stope Fill gives you control over your backfill design, allowing for fully customisable stope design. Implement plug and cap pours with ease. Stope Fill automatically generates a composite pour plan based on your batching parameters, optimising your binder usage. Determining if your reticulation system is operating in Slack Flow normally requires accurate rheological models and comprehensive survey data of your pipelines. We have developed several real-time detection methods that utilise your pressure sensors to provide clear binary alerts as to the flow status of your system. These dynamic detection methods can be deployed across your reticulation system without the need to develop accurate hydraulic models. When optimising a backfill's material composition there are dozens of variables that can be adjusted. Retic Systems' solution is to carry out a streamlined testing program, efficiently mapped to develop multivariant models. Coupled with Retic Router, we can quickly identify the optimal backfill for you.
