A Preliminary Investigation Into the Geotechnical Interpretation of Geophysical Logs
Compares a full suite of downhole sondes against geotechnical core logging over the 5 m above three coal seams, for geologists and rock engineers assessing roof conditions.
by Lesley S Jeffrey | October 2004
Geophysical logging of boreholes above three Witbank seams identified clay rich matrices, stiffness changes, bedding planes and the principal stress direction, and picked up fractures in 30 to 75 per cent of cases. Core logging found most of the same features faster, so routine use was not recommended unless stiffness and stress direction matter.

A compound dry cleaning machine de-stoned low grade raw coal without using water, but separation efficiency was low, with high relative density cut points and EPM values in the order of 0.3. Misplaced material was heavy and coal below 6 mm reported to product almost indiscriminately. The unit is cheap to buy and run, needs only crushing to 50 mm, and gives high throughput.

Compared against concrete and gabions on cost, construction time, footprint, durability and safety, the Dongalock product proved cheaper and quicker to install in small and medium incised valley bottom wetlands, and needs no heavy plant, so local enterprises can build it. Concrete still suits large wetlands carrying high water velocities.
