There are thousands of linear miles of abandoned highwall in the Appalachian coalfields left from contour strip mining, about 25% of which are estimated to have been auger mined to depths of 100 -150 feet. Auger mining weakens the face of the highwall and makes the coal beyond the depth of augering difficult to recover (Figure 1a).
At the Townhill mine, crews began their push into the seam at an existing highwall where years ago shallow auger holes had been drilled into the coal seam. "You can breeze through the existing auger holes pretty easily. They're anywhere from 100- to 120-ft deep and a 20-ft beam advances in three to five minutes. Once you get back past …
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.

Highwall mining combines the advantages of open-cut and underground approaches, and allows so˛ and thick coal seams to be mined at the rear of the coal rib at the highwall/endwall toe. ˝e entire ...
The purpose of the highwall mining system is to extract coal with an auger machine or a continuous miner from exposed seams at the base of open pit or strip operations. The major factors in the highwall mining system are coal recovery and the stability of the highwall. A large amount of coal remains isolated and undeveloped as pillars due to previous …

Coal reserves that lie beyond final highwalls, which would otherwise be sterilised, can be recovered by means of highwall auger mining (HWAM) and/or continuous highwall mining (HWM or CHM), if practicable. These methods are typically employed when thermal and metallurgical (i.e., steelmaking) coal prices increase during the window of ...

ment and for the practice of green mining. There are two types of methods for highwall mining. The first type is the auger system, which emerged in the 1940s in the United States of America (USA) and was initially used for contour mining outcrop coal [11]. This method is widely used because of its low price [12,13]. The second type is ...
Highwall mining has the potential to reduce highwall stability by weakening and raising the stress levels in the mined coal seam, usually at the base of the highwall. AAI uses Slope-W to evaluate overall highwall stability before and after highwall mining by simulating the weakening of the coal seam based on the extraction ratio [4].
investigation including highwall mining through old auger workings, highwall mining near old underground mines, multiple-seam and multiple lift highwall mining and finally the size and frequency of barrier pillars. INTRODUCTION Auger and highwall mining continues to grow in importance as a coal production method from surface mines in the U.S.
A 2D FLAC [5] plane strain model with just half of a 2.5 m wide pillar and half of a 3.5 m wide and 3.125 m high entry was constructed, as shown in Fig. 4.The model had roller boundaries on three sides (i.e. left, right and the base). This implies symmetry conditions there, and effectively an infinite row of pillars and entries in the horizontal …
A Practical Trial to Increase the Coal Recovery in Highwall Auger. The basic concept of auger mining is to extract coal beyond the economic limits of surface mining technology …
Oscar then went through the steps to implement a highwall auger program, with checking on geology, hydrology and spatial planning, matching the selected highwall auger machine with geotechnical ...
Pillar design is of paramount importance to any underground mine design. Oversized pillars may lead to loss of coal while undersized pillars may lead to instability. While underground pillars are mostly square and rectangular, highwall mining pillars are long and narrow, as they are formed after driving parallel entries in the seam from the …
Highwall mining technology has many advantages: short infrastructure time, low operating cost, relatively low labor cost, flexibility, easy operation, safety, and …
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.

1. Introduction "Highwall Mining" is a new coal mining method recently introduced in India for enhancement of coal production. When open pit coal mines reach their pit limits due to the presence of surface structures or uneconomical stripping ratios, the coal seams exposed at the final highwall are extracted using Highwall Mining [1].Often, …

The entries are mined using two types of highwall mining systems, namely, continuous highwall mining (CHM) and auger mining (Figure 1). CHM system utilises a continuous miner generating typically 3.5 m wide rectangular entries while auger system excavates single or double holes typically from 1.5 to 1.8 m in diameter (Duncan Fama et al, 2001 ...

highwall mining with auger system. German Creek and Oaky Creek Mines also applied auger mining after the operations in Callide mine. In 1993, Oaky Creek Mine commenced operations with CHM system. Since 1991, the commercial highwall mining operations have been conducted in approximately 40 pits at 17 coal mines (Christensen 2004).
Almost all the coal is produced from open cut mines in Indonesia. As a consequence of open cut mine application, a great deal of coal is left out in the highwalls of the mined-out pits. Highwall mining systems can be used to recover this coal. The use of highwall mining systems has increasingly come into play in the US and Australia. …
1,200 ft, the highwall mining method is preferred over auger mining. It continues to grow as an important coal production method in the US and accounts for about 4% of the total U.S. coal
A highwall, showing the auger holes is shown in this picture: Figure 7.3.14: Highwall with auger holes. Source: OilPrice. When the ultimate pit limit is reached, it is difficult to "pack up and leave" when you see the exposed coal seam. So, in some regard, the company looks at this secondary recovery technique, i.e., auger mining, as ...
highwall. Modern auger and highwall mining has evolved from this humble beginning into a highly productive, sophisticated, high-technology, surface coal mining technique requiring four to five miners per shift. Volkwein, et al. (1) review the evolution of auger and highwall mining systems in the U.S. including the earliest augers
Highwall miners of this type can advance much further into the highwall than augers, and machines are available that can mine in as far as 1,600 ft, achieving production levels (in Appalachia) of ...
