Black Diamond Drilling GEWI bars are high-tensile, threaded steel bars widely used in underground mining for rock reinforcement and ground support.

Black Diamond Drilling GEWI Bars are ideal for strata control, face support, and long-term structural reinforcement. Their continuous thread design allows for easy cutting, coupling, and tensioning, making them adaptable to a range of installation lengths and configurations.

Black Diamond Drilling Underground Support GEWI Bar

Advantages

  • High strength-to-weight ratio for secure ground stabilization.
  • Immediate load support after installation
  • Affordable support solution
  • ISO-9002 Certified

Special Requirements

WELDING

  • Welding processes GMAW, FCAW and Low-Hydrogen MMAW must be used to ensure strength is retained in the joints and the GEWI Bar material.
  • Hydrogen controlled electrodes must also be used.
  • Matching strength W55x (E55x) or W62x (E62x) type consumables must be used in all load-bearing butt welds.
  • Interpass welding temperature must remain below 200°C
