OBS

L'abattage mécanique, par une machine qui disloque le massif rocheux, est mis en œuvre chaque fois que le matériau à abattre est suffisamment tendre (ou fragile) et homogène pour se laisser débiter de façon continue. La machine d'abattage (haveuse, rabot, mineur continu, ripper, brise-roche hydraulique, etc.) fonctionne par passes successives et effectue généralement le chargement de produits en même temps.
