It's especially so where rock structures in subsurface excavations are left unsupported. This includes side wall and roof portions of mining tunnels and shafts. To counteract this, mining engineers have developed several ingenious methods to reinforce rock faces. This gives mine operations various options for safe underground mining support ...

The service shafts and most of the main shafts are also used for mine ventilation. In production, some shafts are often dug specially or mainly for ventilation, drainage, backfill, etc. They are named according to their main tasks, such as ventilation shafts, drainage shafts, and backfill shafts. According to the hoisting container equipped in ...

Mining - Drifts, Tunnels, Shafts: All horizontal or subhorizontal development openings made in a mine have the generic name of drift. These are simply tunnels made in the rock, with a size and shape depending on their use—for example, haulage, ventilation, or exploration. A drift running parallel to the ore body and lying in the footwall is called a …

Strengthening shafts, tubes. Author Tom Lipton Published. July 01, 2015 - 10:30am. Shafts and tubes are straightened using the same flame straightening techniques used for plates. An easy way to straighten a shaft is in V-blocks or, better yet, mounted between centers in a lathe using piped coolant. The severity of the bend determines …
