What this report found

Computational fluid dynamics, checked against underground measurements, mapped ventilation flow and methane concentration around continuous miner headings for straights and splits, single and double scrubbers, side and straight scrubber discharges, jet fans, brattices and force columns. It showed the earlier physical test work cannot predict contaminant flow for larger machines or altered scrubber layouts.

Underground Trials of Seismic-counter and Goafing Characteristics in Pillar Extraction

2003

Underground trials at South African collieries of a seismic early warning instrument first developed for an Australian longwall, with analysis of how roof layers fail during pillar extraction.

What this report found

A stand-alone device was built that detects micro-seismicity within 100 m of the roof and raises an alarm when preset thresholds are exceeded, giving early warning of goafing. Input parameters proved not to vary with geotechnical setting. Man-made noise triggering false alarms remained the main obstacle, addressed by signal conditioning and sensor placement.
