SUBSURFACE MINING

Applications 1) - CAVITY FILLING 2) – COAL FACE STABILISATION

3) – COAL AND STRATA CONSOLIDATION 4) – INJECTION BOLTING 5) – ROOF AND RIB BOLTING

6) – RADIAL ROCK BOLTING 7) – FOREPOLING 8) – SEALING AGAINST GAS AND WATER

LONGWALL AND ROOM AND PILLAR METHODS OF MINING CAN BOTH BE USED FOR MINING SUITABLE UNDERGROUND COAL SEAMS. LONGWALL HAS BETTER RESOURCE RECOVERY (ABOUT 80% COMPARED WITH ABOUT 60% FOR ROOM AND PILLAR METHOD, FEWER ROOF SUPPORT CONSUMABLES ARE NEEDED, HIGHER VOLUME COAL CLEARANCE SYSTEMS, MINIMAL MANUAL HANDLING AND SAFETY OF THE MINERS IS ENHANCED BY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS UNDER THE HYDRAULICROOF CHOCKS, CONVEYOR HYDRAULIC SUPPORTS WHEN THEY ARE EXTRACTING COAL.

MINING EQUIPMENT

LONGWALL MINING IS A FORM OF UNDERGROUND COAL MINING WHERE A LONG WALL OF COAL IS MINED IN A SINGLE SLICE (TYPICALLY 0.6 – 1.0 M THICK). THE LONGWALL PANEL (THE BLOCK OF COAL THAT IS BEING MINED) IS TYPICALLY 3 – 4 KM LONG AND 250 – 400 M WIDE.

INJECTION RESINS AND BOLTS FOR COAL MINING

Application in Mining POLYMER RESINS FOR MINING AND HARD ROCK MINING (AND TUNNELING): - Pre-injection and Post-injection - Injection / Rock Bolting - Mine Backfill INJECTION RESINS FOR MINING (AND TUNNELING): - Water stopping - Sealing against gas (and water) - Water ingress reduction and ground consolidation - Rehabilitation of tunnel linings - Consolidation and cavity filling HARD ROCK TBM APPLICATIONS IN UNDERGROUND MINING: - Anti-wear and Anti-dust - Anti-clogging - Anchoring - Spray applied waterproofing membrane - Injection (TBM is safer than drill and blast: no explosives - no trucking, therefore less underground traffic and better ventilation – excavation is much cleaner lowering the risk of rock fall – TBM will be equipped for application of shotcrete, bolts, mesh and steel sets – no requirement to work under unsupported ground)

- STRENGTHENING AND STABILIZATION OF COAL SEAMS OR ORE DEPOSIT LAYERS BEFORE EXPLOITATION;

- CROSSING OF FAULT ZONES; -STABILIZATION OF WORKING FACE-OPENING CROSSINGS IN COAL MINES; -SECURING OF COAL SEAM OVERLAYING LAYERS AHEAD OF PROGRESSING WORKING-FACE OR ORE STOPE; -STABILIZATION OF SURROUNDING OF MINE WORKINGS; -STRENGTHENING OF FOOTWALL USING RESIN GROUTING; -LOWERING OF PERMEABILITY OF WATER AND GAS IN ROCK, COAL SEAMS OR BARRIERS; - STRENGTHENING OF COAL IN SURROUNDING OF MINE WORKINGS ENDANGERED BY SHOCK BUMPS; - SECURING OF STABILITY IN THE SURROUNDING OF PITS, STAPLE PITS AND SHAFTS;

- LIMITATION OF MINE WINDS DRAFTS; - ANCHORING OF ROCKS; - STABILIZATION AND INSULATION OF OLD PITHEADS.

THE NAME PRODUCTS, DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS: “GLOBALFOAM-SP (Fire resistant)” CAVITY FILLING - silicon-mineral-organic formula with a high expansion capacity studied for waterproofing and consolidating friable rocks and earth, filling cracks and cavities, ducting water in water table areas. Non-toxic and self extinguishing, no production of harmful fumes.FIRE RESISTANT.

“GLOBALFOAM-WR” and “GLOBALFOAM-WR-NF (Fire resistant)” WATER SEALING - polyurethane resin extremely reactive on contact with water, suitable for sealing cracks, joints, empty spaces, as well as consolidating crushed rock or concrete areas, provided that there is humidity “GLOBALFOAM-PU” and “GLOBALFOAM-PU-NF (Fire resistant)” WATER SEALING - polyurethane resin, self-estinguishing,, suited for sealing of cracks, joints, cavity filling, and for consolidation of crusche manufacture made of stone or cement, in presence of dampness. In contact with water starts a chimica reaction that forms a closed-cells consolidating foam, which is waterproof and has a good chimica stability. FIRE RESISTANT “GLOBALSTONE” and “GLOBALSONE-LV (Fire resistant)” SEALING AND STRUCTURAL BONDING OF FISSURES AND CRACKS (FLEX) - STRATA CONSOLIDATION – Organic-mineral two components resin, not expansible, characterized by low viscosity, excellent chimica stability, mechanical resi stance and flexibility. Ideal for water-proofing fractured rock, consolidation of loose land and rock, crack and cavity filling. Especially suitable for bonding injection drill bolts because the resins cure within just a few minutes and the bolt can be loaded in a very short time. FIRE RESISTANT.

ARRANGEMENT OF ROCK BOLTS TO SUPPORT ROOF EXCAVATION

ROCK BOLT INJECTION ARE USED WHERE A CONVENTIONAL CONSOLIDATION (WITH PACKERS AND INJECTION PIPE) CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STABILIZATION. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR INJECTION ROCK BOLTS ARE:

- STABILISATION OF BELT ENTRY; - INTERSECTION OF FAULTS; - ATTACHMENT OF POST ROCK FALL PACKER IN THE LONGWALL; - STABILISATION OF ROOFS AND FACES IN DRIFTING; - COAL FACE STABILISATION IN THE LONGWALL; - COAL AND STRATA CONSOLIDATION; - GLUING OF GRP AND STEEL BOLTS IN DRILLING AND IN RISE DRIFTS AND DIP HEADING; - GLUING OF SUPPORT BOLTS IN THE BELT ENTRY; - SECURING OF THE DRIFT FACE . THE SETTING PROCESS REQUIRES A “GLOBALSTONE” WITH ALMOST THIXOTROPIC PROPERTIES.

CONSOLIDATION OF A COAL FACE

MODERN MINING EXPANDS INTO INCREASING DEPTHS. THE COAL EXTRACTION GETS MORE DIFFICULT. THE APPLICATION OF “GLOBALFOAM” AND “GLOBALSTONE” IN THE FORM OF DOUBLE-COMPONENT MANMADE RESINS ENABLES EFFECTIVE CEMENTING OF FISSURES IN THE DISINTEGRATED ROCK MASS WHICH ENABLES ALSO SUCCESSFUL DRIFTING OF MINE WORKINGS IN THESE CONDITIONS. THERE IS ALSO POSSIBLE THE SEALING OF ROCK STRATA AGAINST WATER INFLOW AS WELL AS GAS INFLOW. THE MATERIAL IS CHARACTERIZED BY EXCELLENT ISOLATION AND STICKING PROPERTIES. MIXING OF BOTH COMPONENTS IS BEING MADE IN THE SPECIAL MIXING CHAMBER WHICH IS LOCATED JUST BEHIND THE PUMP. THE MATERIAL GROUTING IS PROVIDED BY MEANS OF GROUTING NEEDLES AND/OR GROUTING ROCKBOLTS. THE MIXING CHAMBER IS LOCATED IN THE CLOSE VICINITY OF THE BOREHOLE INPUT, IN WHICH THE REINFORCEMENT HAS TO BE MADE. THE RESIN TYPE “GLOBALSTONE” PENETRATES INTO NEIGHBOURHOOD FISSURES AND JOINTS UP TO THE DISTANCE OF MANY METERS (20 METERS) AND, FOLLOWING, THE EFFECTIVE REINFORCEMENT AND SEALING OF THE ROCK MASS IS BEING PROVIDED. THE PUMP SUCKS THE COMPONENT A AND COMPONENT B AND PUSHES ALL BOTH COMPONENTS USING PRESSURE HOSES TO THE BOREHOLE, WHERE THE COMPONENTS ARE MIXED IN THE MIXING UNIT AND THE READY-TO-USE RESIN IS PRESSURIZED INTO THE ROCK MASS USING A PACKER AND / OR INSTALLED GROUTING ROCKBOLT. THE PRESSURIZING OPERATION CONTROL IS BEING MADE BY MEANS OF VALVES CONTROLLED BY PRESSURE METER MONITORING. USED PRESSURE MAX 200 BAR. DUE TO CONSISTENT FURTHR DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO FULFIL THE INCREASING DEMANS OF MODERN MINING.

COAL FACE CONSOLIDATION / STABILIZATION CAVITY FILLING involves the pumping of phenolic foam or organo mineral foam into a large void or cavity. When mixed with a catalyst the resin undergoes rapid expansion (GLOBALSTONE- LV50 - NO expansion) to form a dense foam that plugs cavity, stabilizes debris and prenents gas accumulation in the void.

When the most important problem is water the basic principle of pre-ground treatment is to utilized the ground surrounnding the tunnel as a load bearing ring and make it an integral part of the primary support and lining. This conceprt can be reached by creating a tight ground ring around the lining so that the hydrostatic pressure inthe outer permeable ground would act on the grouted ring instead of on the lining.
