Abattage à front en chantier. La méthode utilisée dans l'exploitation d’un gisement relativement peu épais(12" au plus) et de faible inclinaison consiste à perforer comme dans les galeries et à faire exploser avec front d’attaque en avancement continu. Selon l'épaisseur du gisement, il peut y avoir plusieurs fronts d’attaque simultanés disposés en gradins(«benches») offrant deux faces ouvertes, ce qui facilite la fragmentation des terrains. Cette méthode par front d’avancement(«breast stoping») s’applique selon qu'il y a nécessité ou avantage d’exploiter en une série de fronts d’attaque sur gradins. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20par%20front%20d%26rsquo%3Bavancement

Lorsque la tenue du sous-sol ne permet pas de creuser à pleine section, on opère par des galeries d’avancement de section moindre, parfois très étroite, qu’on étaye et élargit ensuite progressivement. Le procédé comporte de nombreuses variantes selon le nombre, l’emplacement, la combinaison et le processus d’élargissement de ces galeries. 1, record 2, French, - attaque%20par%20galeries%20d%27avancement
