Once the backfilling borehole pipeline is perforated and damaged, the borehole becomes unusable and must be re-drilled, resulting in enormous engineering costs. Therefore, how to repair damaged backfilling boreholes and reuse them while reducing backfilling costs has become an urgent need in the mining industry today. Summary of the Invention
