What is a Highwall In coal mining terms a highwall is the excavated face/slope which advances down dip with each successive strip that is mined in an open cut strip mine In this article we introduce some of the key concepts surrounding highwall excavation sequence geotechnical and mine design and alternative mining methods to recover

What is Highwall Mining Highwall mining is a proven primary method for mining coal from outcropping horizontal seams In this method of mining an unmanned continuous miner is driven underground and operated in front of the highwall The highwall mining machine stands on the pit floor or on a bench directly in front of the exposed seam and makes
India operation gets first highwall miner HIGHWALL mining machine producer ICG Addcar has completed production on and shipped the Donna Schmidt 06 August 2010 The company said recently the system was loaded onto a port boat and sent to the purchaser Advanced Mining Technologies
The LDC100 highwall miner Han et al 2014 is used to extract the coal left under the west highwall of the open pit is an unmanned mining machine with a production capacity of 60 t/h and a suited coal rock hardness factor of f ≤ 2 which is applicable for recovery from lignite open pit recovery chamber has a rectangular cross section
Highwall mining technology exemplified by the automatic machines such as the Caterpillar s HM300 and the ADDCAR developed by the UGM Company in Australia has been accepted by more and more coal operators [1] [2] In China the practical applications were also carried out in the Antaibao and Wulan coal mines which successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of the

BCCL has proposed Highwall Mining in the designated area Subsequently a Scheme for Highwall Mining at ABOCP has been prepared Accordingly this Draft Scheme has been prepared for extraction of seams V/VI/VII VIII VIII B which are virgin in the designated area proposed for Highwall Mining Introduction Amalgamated Block II
FLAC3D to design the pillar system in highwall mining special case to Mae Tan Coal Mine Based on this case study the stress and strength of the pillars were estimated from both types of theories
The depth of cover at the highwall mining machine s limits was crucial to the design and based on the expected seam dip of 20° m was the maximum penetration that could be achieved Seven holes were drilled from the surface above the highwall four corresponding to a penetration depth of m from the highwall and three near the

Coal mined using highwall mining machines in the United States accounts for about 4% of the country s total annual coal production [7][8][9] However due to varying conditions in different mines
Open pit mining is a common method for extracting coal but considerable resources are often left unrecovered at the bottom of end slopes leading to a permanent waste of resources This research presents a sustainable approach of multi layer highwall mining at different levels to address the issue of abundant resources left unrecovered at the bottom of
Highwall stability is essential for open cut these particular projects otherwise known as open pit mining employs a technique in which rock and minerals are extracted from a borrow pit or long term highwall performance the substance properties that makeup mining sites—or more specifically the rocks and minerals found within the borrow—should be
