Steep Dip. The key to quality and productivity is to keep the miner operating in the seam. No system beats the accuracy of Addcar's navigation. Your operator will know where they are heading exactly. They can control pillar width, getting maximum recovery without risking roof stability. ... ADDCAR HighWall Mining ...
26 March 2007. Highwall mining of multiple seams can be tricky. Issues of roof stability, web pillar dimensions, sequencing and seam interaction all need to be carefully addressed. But according to Agapito Associates' Tom Vandergrift, with the right geotechnical and pre-production planning in place, a productive highwall can be a great earner.
Slope stability is a prominent problem for the efficient application and promotion of highwall mining technology, especially when mining residual coal under high and steep end-slope conditions. This study proposes the concept of target time pillar strength based on the required coal pillar service time. ... The dip of the no. 21 coal …
two main highwall mining systems currently used in Australia are the Addcar Highwall Mining system and the Auger system.

The Moura Mine's current Addcar highwall coal mining operation in Central Queensland has identified that high methane concentrations on the northern side of the mine have …
Steep Dip; Lateral Guidance. Addcar highwall systems utilizes three pairs of ring laser gyroscopes and accelerometers to monitor the heading, pitch, and roll of the continuous miner. Graphic displays within the operator's compartment give the operator a complete picture of active entry, past entries, and rib thickness. ... ADDCAR HighWall ...
8.1.1.1 Contour Mining. Usually in hilly terrain where a steep slope limits the width that can be economically mined from the mineral out crop. ... The dragline bucket is dragged up the face of the highwall until it is filled with overburden. ... but very thick seams of steep dip may also be mined by this method if the areal extent of the "in ...
Embodiments of this invention relate to highwall mining, and more ... then the launch deck is tilted in a vertical place relative to the upper deck to substantially match a dip angle of the seam to be mined. The conveyor car is attached to a conveyor train extending into the seam as the rearmost car in the train.
Highwall mining of thick (up to 30.48 m) steeply dipping (20° or more) coal seams provides many challenges, both geotechnically and operationally, as seam dips near or in excess of...
