This system works quite well and is still in use in some mines where ventilation is not too arduous (e.g. bord and pillar mining). The brattice wall tends to be leaky and it is difficult to get good flow at the face for distances over 80m. The brattice also restricts the working width or the width of the return path (or both).

3.2 Design of Bord and Pillar Workings The main elements of Bord and Pillar workings are: Size of the Panel The main consideration in deciding the size of the panel is the incubation period of the coal seam. The size is so fixed that the entire panel can be extracted within the incubation period without the occurrence of spontaneous fire.

The coal is transported by the underground conveyor system and taken to the surface. After developing pillars in the bord and pillar method, consideration is given for the extraction of coal pillars, known as pillar extraction or depillaring. The extraction line should be arranged to facilitate roof control in pillar extraction.

empty areas from which coal has been mined, and the pillars are blocks of coal (generally 40 to 80 feet on a side) left to support the mine roof. Room-and-pillar mining generally is limited to depths of about 1,000 feet because at greater depths larger pillars are needed, resulting in smaller coal recovery (typically 60% of the coal

The room-and-pillar technique is a self-supporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are later recovered partially or completely.

Room and pillar mining is a widely used technique where large underground chambers (rooms) are created, leaving pillars of untouched material to support the mine's roof. This method is particularly effective in extracting coal, salt, and other minerals, providing a balance between resource extraction and structural stability.
