CONT

Risk Assessment of Fire. Investigations have been undertaken into risk assessment of underground fires, non-flammable wood substitutes, fire retardant treatment of wood and inert gas fire fighting technology. Monolithic packing, a cement-like material, has been tested as an alternative to traditional wood packs; monolithic packing maintains gateroad stability while vastly improving the gob resistance.

DEF

In underground mining, the weight of rock above an excavation which has been transferred to the adjoining walls.

CONT

front abutment pressure

CONT

Faulty pillar recovery methods and removal of more coal than permitted by the plan's design allowed lateral or abutment pressures from the gob to overcome the mine roof at the location of the continuous mining machine while mining was being conducted.
