A New Approach to Ground Support

03 January 2012 by Geobrugg

Higher demands for resources require a faster extraction of ore. Increasing safety requirements and labour cost, call for a higher degree of mechanisation of the ground support process.

The continuously increasing depth in ore extraction leads to new challenges in hard rock underground mines. Conventional ground support systems often are not effective or economical enough in highly stressed or squeezing ground, and cannot withstand rockbursting ground caused by seismicity.
