Tommy Pilon Chaussé - Senior Development Supervisor at IAMGOLD Westwood Mine sees several advantages with pumpable resin and says that “we’ve had a big increase in productivity since adopting pumpable resin, we’re talking about 30-40% more efficiency versus standard resin”. He further highlights the safety aspect of the resin injection system which “has greatly improved the health and safety of workers at the Westwood mine” Joseph Bérubé who is working as a mechanical engineer at the mine emphasizes the increased safety as he says that the system “eliminates direct contact with the injectable resin, so there is no risk of toxicity or chemical contamination. The operator remains at the back of the system and everything is done automatically”. Check out the video below to hear their team describe how injectable resin boosted their ground support methods on site.   ### Related posts - [Agnico Eagle’s Odyssey Mine Sets a New Standard in Technology Transformation](https://epiroc.blog/canada/agnico-eagles-odyssey-mine-sets-a-new-standard-in-technology-transformation?hsLang=en) July 07, 2024 - [Dynamitage TCG Orders Four SmartROC D65s from Epiroc to Deploy in Quebec, Canada](https://epiroc.blog/canada/dynamitage-tcg-orders-four-smartroc-d65s-from-epiroc-to-deploy-in-quebec-canada?hsLang=en) July 07, 2024 - [CIM 2024 Epiroc Customer Event at One Under](https://epiroc.blog/canada/cim-2024-epiroc-customer-event-at-one-under?hsLang=en) June 06, 2024 - [Epiroc and Vale Base Metals bolster mine safety and innovation](https://epiroc.blog/canada/epiroc-and-vale-base-metals-bolster-mine-safety-and-innovation?hsLang=en) January 01, 2024 - [Epiroc Canada Expo in Lively, Ontario](https://epiroc.blog/canada/epiroc-canada-expo-in-lively-ontario?hsLang=en) November 11, 2023 - [IAMGOLD Westwood and Epiroc](https://epiroc.blog/canada/pumpable-resin-iamgold-westwood-and-epiroc-video-0?hsLang=en) August 08, 2023 - Contact Us - 1-800-465-6719 - [support.canada@epiroc.com](mailto:support.canada@epiroc.com) - [epiroc.com/en-ca](https://www.epiroc.com/en-ca) © 2023 Epiroc Canada.
