 Benefits of Mechanised Underground Coal Mining

 Higher OMS & Less exposure of persons in hazardous area

 No person is exposed to green roof hazards as CM is remote control operated.

 Roof bolt and Shuttle Car Operators are always under supported zone.

 Efficient roof & Side bolting by roof bolting machines.

 Strata monitoring is done scientifically. – RTT, Stress Cell, MPBX

 Improved environmental condition.

 Less fatigue of persons.

Proposed Strata Control and Monitoring Plan:

SUPPORT OF GALLERIES:

 Full column resin grouted roof bolts of length not less than 1.8m in length shall be set in rows at a
maximum interval of 1.2m between bolts in the same row and 1.2m between rows of bolts in all the
development galleries. The distance between the solid pillar side and the nearest bolt in a row shall not
be more than 0.60m.

 If conditions dictate i.e. shaly roof with discontinuities and or sandstone intrusions or minor faults, then
additional supports in the form of panel mesh and w-straps shall be provided in addition to the roof bolts.

SUPPORT OF JUNCTIONS:
 Full column resin grouted roof bolts of length not less than 1.8m in length shall be set in rows at a
maximum interval of 1.0m between bolts in the same row and 1.0m between rows of bolts at all junctions
of galleries.

 In case of roof convergence/dilation is observed to be 5 mm or more as indicated by instrumentation and

monitoring then, additional suitable support shall be installed as per suggestion of the scientific body
who will be engaged for regular strata monitoring of the development work

Roof Bolting System seam-1

 SUPPORT OF SIDES:
 During the development operation, the side support is to be installed as and when required. In the galleries of Seam I
(Top) wherever the development height exceeds 3.0 m, the side walls shall be kept supported by two rows of GRP
(cut-able) bolts/steel bolts of 1.5 m length in such a way that the rows shall be placed at a distance of 0.80 m and 2.0
m respectively from the roof, and the distance between bolts in a row shall not exceed 1.5 m. Wherever required, wire
mesh in side walls should be installed.

Additional supports and support system for ledges, overhangs and geologically disturbed areas

 Additional supports including longer bolts/flexi bolts should be installed as and when required. In case of
ledges/overhangs are formed in the galleries or any geological disturbances such as faults, slips, slickensides, cracks,
joints, fractures, etc. are encountered during development, additional full column resin grouted longer bolts/flexi
bolts are to be installed in the affected zone along with w-straps, wire netting, cogs or other supports as and when
required.

INSTRUMENTATION AND MONITORING:

For routine monitoring:

 It is proposed to measure the stability of the junction with the help of Rotary Telltale (RTT) for measuring the roof
deformation during the development of the Seam I (Top) by installing RTTs in the junctions where the maximum
deformation is expected. It is proposed to install the RTT at an anchorage height of at least 5.0 m from the roof of
the Seam I (Top) during the development.

For design monitoring:

 For the purpose of design monitoring to validate the pattern of the development and adequacy of the support
system, it is proposed to install the stress meters (SM) in the pillar and 4-way multipoint borehole extensometers
(MPBX) in the roof at the strategic locations for measurement of stress coming on the developed pillars and
deformation/bed separation from different horizons respectively (Figure-8). The design monitoring stations
should be made along the level direction in the middle gallery of the panel one after six pillars from the beginning
of the development work and another in the middle of the panel.

 Additional instruments shall be installed in case of abrupt change of strata conditions, comparatively weak
roof conditions and encountering geological disturbances and also as and when required.

 Feasibility of continuous Miner Application
Geological / Geotechnical Feasibility

 Underground coal seam with no surface feature.

 Competent immediate roof
 Coal seams dipping from +5 to -12 degrees is ideal for continuous miner, however coal seams +8 to -
20 degrees can also be mined with specialized technique
 Relatively flat seams, no faults
 Minimum Coal Seam thickness 1.5 m & above
 Highly productive.
