The significance of mining to human civilization is undeniable. Mining, being one of the earliest human endeavors, and its evolution are inextricably linked to cultural advancement. Mining is the cradle of all other businesses. Different strategies have been approached for mining effectiveness while keeping output and safety in mind. The Bord and Pillar …
The key to the successful Bord and Pillar mining is selecting the optimum pillar size. If the pillars are too small the mine will collapse. If the pillars are too large then significant quantities ...
Pillar extraction, (also referred to as retreat mining; pillar recovery; stooping; pillar robbing; and bord and pillar second workings) is the practice of forming a series …

Chikande et al. (2022) created and implemented a ventilation-on-demand (VOD) system for the bord and pillar mining method at a platinum mine in Zimbabwe to reduce the usage of excess air in the ...
Bord and Pillar method of mining. Bord and Pillar method of mining is one of the oldest methods of mining. The success of Bord and Pillar mining is selecting the optimum pillar size. If the pillars are too large, then the extraction ratio decrease leading to less production and profitability and if the pillars are too small it
The mining layout is exactly the same as that of the normal bord and pillar layout (see Figure 3). The bords are 4 m wide and pillar sizes are 13 m x 13 m, thus creating centres of 17 m. The stopping width in the development phase is 1.8 m (0.2 m hanging wall, 0.8 m UG2 reef and 0.8 m footwall). The pillar that is created is then stoped out ...
Bord-and-pillar mining is used in first workings of a deposit, and when irregularly shaped deposits, or sensitive environmental conditions, call for a lighter touch.
4.3.3 Irregular Bord and Pillar Layouts. Pillars of irregular size, shape and height, such as those shown in Fig. 4.9, were a common feature of bord and pillar mining in the days of hand mining and drill and blast mining operations. A need to assess pillar load in irregular mine layouts often arises when considering the potential for surface ...
THE bord and pillar method is widely used for coal production in South Africa and has developed in efficiency and productivity in recent years. Mining Consultancy Services managing director of Australia Chris Wilkinson says a review of underground mining practices could find bord and pillar conducive to Australian conditions.
Post-pillar mining uses regularly spaced pillars to extract inclined deposits between 20-55 degrees and allows filling of the mined space. It also discusses considerations for gallery dimensions, pillar dimensions and configurations, recovery strategies, equipment used, and operational aspects of board and pillar mining. Read less
Coal mining - Underground mining: In underground coal mining, the working environment is completely enclosed by the geologic medium, which consists of the coal seam and the overlying and underlying strata. Access to the coal seam is gained by suitable openings from the surface, and a network of roadways driven in the seam then facilitates …

The Bord and Pillar mining method is an efficient and regulated process that balances coal extraction with structural safety. Through the use of advanced …
Bord and pillar mining. This diagram shows the traditional method of bord and pillar mining. Miners extracted coal along roadways or bords, with the coal between the bords …
comes from room-and-pillar mining. Metallic minerals valued at about $1 billion, plus nonmetallic minerals valued well in excess of $1 billion, are also produced via room-and-pillar mining. A significant ($600 million) and growing portion of stone and aggregate production uses room-and-pillar mining. In addition, many other mineral commodities
The paper points out that bord-and-pillar mining is the most important method of coal extraction in South African underground coal mines, and advocates that pillar design procedures should be ...
Bord-and-pillar mining has some favourable promises such as improving labour difficulties, lowering operating costs and providing safer working conditions. The …
As bord and pillar workings are developed roof support becomes a major consideration and operating cost item. Support requirements vary considerably and are dependent on the physical conditions in the seam, which are often depth dependent, and the length of time that the workings are required to be serviceable. ... In underground …
1.. IntroductionIn India, underground coal production is mostly dependent upon the conventional bord and pillar (room and pillar) method of mining, although the overall output per man shift (OMS) through this method is generally not more than 1 ton in any of the mines [1].Large areas in all the subsidiaries of Coal India Limited and even in …
Instrumentation and monitoring is undertaken aiming at evaluation of changing values of rock mechanic parameters, namely, dilation, load, convergence, and stress, during mining for a safe strata control. It enables the mining practitioners to anticipate roof fall–related dangers in advance and taking subsequent preventive …
The main objective of this present work is to review the overall Bord & Pillar working used in coal mines. 3. METHODOLOGY Steps involved in Bord and Pillar Mining System …
The Maxwell Underground Coal Mine is estimated to contain approximately 670 million tonnes (Mt) of measured and indicated resource including 100Mt as inferred coal resource. Mining operations. The Maxwell underground mine will utilise the bord and pillar, as well as the underground longwall extraction methods.
Bord and Pillar method of underground mining has been used extensively to develop Indian coal seams into pillars and galleries. This results in only 20–30% recovery of coal and rest coal remain locked up in developed pillars. Indian coalfields are famous in the world for its uniqueness and complexity of the geomining conditions which makes …
The mining layout is exactly the same as that of the normal bord and pillar layout (see Figure 3). The bords are 4 m wide and pillar sizes are 13 m x 13 m, thus creating …

(Min) (Hungary), Ph.D. (Durham) (Member) SYNOPSIS. The object of this study is to formulate a procedure for the determination of mining dimensions in bord and pillar …
The Bord and Pillar mining method is a critical underground mining technique used for coal extraction. This method involves the creation of galleries and the strategic placement of pillars to support the roof.
