At the end of shaft penetration under protection ice barrier and termination process freezing rocks, transition period from to thawing begins. First all, tubing support trunk layer rocks adjacent concrete are subjected thawing. this time, water is pumped through grouting holes in check tightness column, after which performed with cement mortar fixed space. Thus, an integral part work on waterpr...

Overwinding was the main accident in lifting systems of coal mine and bucket dropping accident was the most serious overwinding accident. According to the cause and mechanism of the bucket dropping accident in main shaft hoisting systems, the conclusion that overloading promotion was the main cause of bucket crash accident was obtained with the fault tree analysis method. One theoretical analys...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine hydrogen sulphide concentration emitted from the mine extracting copper ore, to evaluate potential adverse health effects to the population living in four selected villages surrounding the exhaust shaft. MATERIALS Maximum measured concentration of hydrogen sulphide in the emitter is 286 µg/m³. Maximum emission calculated from the results of determina...

The purpose of this study is the definition and conception of a measurement system capable of continuously determining the level of carbon type bulk products, stored in a large-sized tank (mine shaft). This storage system has several supply circuits and a tapping circuit using motorized conveyor belts. The measurement system, associated with a data processing procedure, makes it possible to est...

Bioaccessible U, Th, Pb and the 238U decay products 214Pb and 210Pb have been determined, using a modified Unified BARGE Method (UBM), in waste solids and soils from an abandoned uranium mine in South West England, UK. Maximum aqua regia extractable concentrations for U, Th and Pb were 16,200, 3.8 and 4750 μg g-1, respectively. 238U had highest activity concentrations near the mine shaft, where...

In mining and post-mining areas, the assessment of risks to surface its infrastructure from opening or closed mine is utmost importance; particular attention should be paid shafts. The include occurrence undetected voids loosening zones in rock mass. Their detection makes it possible prevent their impact on a shaft infrastructure. Geophysical methods, particular, microgravity method lend themse...

Abstract The small stalactites found on the ceiling at level I near Sutoris shaft in thirteenth-century historic salt mine Bochnia, Poland, are mainly composed of mirabilite (Na 2 SO 4 ·10H O) followed by blödite Mg(SO ) ·4H O). unique presence these two minerals only one location this old underground is attributed to contemporary precipitation from percolating solutions. This can be caused a c...

Because of the surrounding environment restriction, some sections Lanzhou Metro Line 2 were forced to change original open excavation method concealed method. Among them, ingate is transitional section connecting shaft and cross passage, which accompanied by force conversion structure during plan process, accidents are prone occur. Combining this project situation, a construction scheme for tur...

Differential SAR Interferometry (D-InSAR) is an effective tool in monitoring land subsidence because of its greater coverage area and better resolution of height change. A series of Japanese Earth Resources Satallite-1 (JERS-1) images from 1992 to 1998 has been used in monitoring the mine subsidence in the test site of this study, one of the important coal mining areas in China. D-InSAR procedu...

The object of research is the proven and promising innovative technologies for construction maintenance main roadways in difficult mining geological terms Private Joint Stock Company (PJSC) Pokrovske Mine Management Metinvest-Pokrovskvugillia Group (Ukraine). problem focused by to ensure effective modernized known application new coal units. Namely, chambers shaft yards, long horizontal incline...
