No minute unsupported: Developments in underground ground control

Removing people from under or near unsupported ground is a key advantage of pumpable resins, improving operational safety. Not pictured: Epiroc Boltec E10 with pumpable resin option.

As underground operations push deeper into high-stress ground conditions, integrating smart support systems, mechanization, and real-time modeling is redefining what ground control can deliver. by Jonathan Rowland As underground operations push deeper, “mining teams are confronting significantly elevated stress environments that amplify seismic risk and deformation demands,” Sandvik’s Daria Fuerstenau told North American Mining. At the same time, geology is…
