underground mining bord and pillar

Currently, raw coal mined through either long wall or bord and pillar mining methods and undergoes primary crushing underground. The De-stoning Plant is proposed to be built on a brownfields site, consisting of transformed land, agriculture and degraded grassland and will link into the existing mine and Eskom infrastructure.

Development of a model to estimate strata behavior during bord …

Instrumentation and monitoring is undertaken aiming at evaluation of changing values of rock mechanic parameters, namely, dilation, load, convergence, and stress, during mining for a safe strata control. It enables the mining practitioners to anticipate roof fall–related dangers in advance and taking subsequent preventive measures while depillaring. The …

A Review of Pillar Design for Platinum Mining to Enhance

AbstractAny bord and pillar platinum mine thrives on effective design of bords and pillars. Pillars have to be large enough to ensure safety and small enough to ensure economic and sustainable exploitation of the mineral resource. Consideration of span of the bords of the working area is also crucial to safe and economic design of the mining layout. This …

Mechanised bord and pillar mining occurs in selected Merensky Reef areas on two of the shafts (12 and 14 Shafts). Mining currently extends to a depth of around 1 000 meters, with most

A method of designing bord and pillar workings | Semantic …

The object of this study is to formulate a procedure for the determination of mining dimensions in bord and pillar workings. This is achieved by using the recently reported pillar strength formula which was derived statistically from the results of a survey of mining dimensions carried out in the collieries of the Transvaal and Orange Free State. In this …
