Ground Fall Mitigation Capability and Enhanced Testing for Rockburst Susceptibility of Rock Liners - Phase 2 - COMPLETE
The Health and Safety Issue
Rockbursts and falls of ground are one of the major causes of serious accidents in Ontario's underground mines. There is a need to explore new and better approaches to ground control.
MASHA's Partners
MASHA's ground control TAC monitors the research project, which is undertaken by Queen's University. The project is funded by the Research Advisory Council of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
The Research Project
This study continues previously-funded work on characterizing support capabilities of conventional and innovative types of spray-on rock lining materials for preventing worker injury and excavation damage associated with ground falls and rock bursts in underground mines. The relative effectiveness of a wide range of spray-on support media for suppressing rock ejection, reducing liner damage, and inhibiting potential worker injury will be assessed using information gained through completion of a number of repeatable blasting trials.
