Abstract

An obvious need exists for more efficient and safer techniques for driving development headings for longwalls and also, in many cases, for bord and pillar operations. A very expeditious solution to this problem is proposed, with the potential to drive such headings two or more times faster than can presently be achieved for any specific set of mining conditions.
