DIDIPIO MINE ACCESS ROAD

Problem

u003cpu003eOceanaGold (Philippines), Inc. owns and operates theu0026nbsp;high-grade gold and copper Didipio mining projectu0026nbsp;bounded by the provinces of Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya, about 270 km north of Manila, Philippines. Prior tou0026nbsp;opening the site for operation, construction of a 24-kilometer access road was required. Large portions ofu0026nbsp;mountain slopes were cut for the said purpose. The cutu0026nbsp;slopes, when exposed to rain, were prone to erosion. Immediate prevention was required to address the problem.u003c/pu003e

Solution

u003cpu003eThe solution proposed by Maccaferri, through its recommended contractor, Infratex Philippines Inc. (IPI), wasu0026nbsp;approved by the customer. The slope protection system utilized BioMac C,u0026nbsp;a product made of 100% biodegradable coconut fibers, for soil erosion control of slopes less than five meters in height andu0026nbsp;with slope angle up to 45° . For slopes higher than five meters in heightu0026nbsp;and with slope angles greater than 45°but lower than 70°, Enkamatu0026nbsp;7018, a three-dimensional geoblanket was recommended.u0026nbsp;Biomac ‘C’ is designed specifically for the reduction ofu0026nbsp;slope erosion, and when properly seeded, it assists inu0026nbsp;the propagation of new growth in areas subject to occasional flows. It reduces erosion and downward migrationu0026nbsp;of soils when installed properly. It will decompose inu0026nbsp;time fertilizing the soil and expediting richer vegetationu0026nbsp;growth.u0026nbsp;Enkamat 7018 is a proven, lightweight, flexible alternative solution to rigid concrete, asphalt and stone riprap systemsu0026nbsp;for controlling erosion. It is typically designed to help nature develop strong vegetation for permanent erosion protectionu0026nbsp;of slopes, rivers, banks, ditches, channels, spillways,u0026nbsp;landfills, shorelines, and other vulnerable erosion prone areas.u0026nbsp;u003c/pu003e
