Beginning as a slurry pipeline engineering company in 1991, Paterson & Cooke now provide a wide range of specialist engineering and scientific services to the international resource industry.

We design deep level backfill and minefill systems, paste and thickened tailings preparation plants and pipelines; concentrate slurry pipelines, hydraulic hoisting systems and offshore mining systems transporting a diverse range of slurries.

Our extensive in-house laboratory and pilot plant facilities allow us to carry out the full spectrum of test work needed for thickener evaluation and sizing (clay behavioural analysis, flocculent selection and screening) and slurry flow behaviour determination (tube and rotational viscometers and pipeline loop tests).
