MONITORING OF THE SAFE SLURRY DUMP REMOVAL AT KEDROVSKY OPEN PIT COAL MINE
Under analysis are the mining and geological conditions at Kedrovsky Open Pit Coal Mine with a view to extracting coal from under the slurry dump: a part of the slurry dump is to be removed using hydraulic mining methods, and dry rock is to be dumped on the rest of the slurry dump area. The application of these technologies is only possible with the safety monitoring, including geotechnical and geophysical research, hydrogeological observations and surveying.
