Out of about 20 highwall mining design projects Agapito has performed over the past seven years, all but one have involved some multiple seam considerations. In the western US and in India, thick seams are commonly encountered, raising the possibility of multiple pass mining (sending the machine in the same opening two or more times to …







Highwall mining is a mining method to extract coal from a final boundary in open cut mining, trench mining or contour mining. This boundary may have been reached because of economic constraints (economic strip limit) or geographic constraints (spoil heaps, rivers etc.). Coal is mined from visible, horizontal, or near horizontal coal seams …





By working "pre-law walls" or contour mines abandoned prior to the enactment of the 1977 Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act, highwall mining operations also reclaim the land. Jeff Taylor and Bobby Berry own Omega Highwall Mining. They began mining the 44-inch Jawbone metallurgical seam during October 2011.



This comprehensive technical book on highwall mining covers theory and practice coupled with practical examples and design aspects. It contains eight extensive chapters elaborating broad-spectrum functionalities of highwall mining and its operational aspects, covering world scenario, economic potential, methods of coal extraction, design …

The optimum operating conditions for the Rail‐Veyor™ system would be similar to those of a conventional conveyor or rail system, with the advantage that it can operate at inclines of up to 20% and it can negotiate corners with a minimum 30‐meter radius at relatively high speeds. The small‐scale and lightweight system also allows for ...







Highwall mining is a method that involves using a continuous highwall miner system (CHM) to extract coal from the remaining coal seams, which has proven to be an effective and safe method for extracting coal after open-pit mining. However, application cases globally have shown that the feasibility of highwall mining in open-pit coal mines …

Gainwell supplied its first highwall miner to SECL through CBL during February 2019 and the machine is working very well. The customer has in fact placed another order for second Gainwell Highwall Miner to be delivered in 2021. So the customer will now have four highwall miners, one Bucryus, one and two new units from …





The rapid growth of highwall mining in the Appalachian coalfields has resulted in unique safety concerns. Due to the concentration of activity at the base of the highwall and the potentially destabilizing influence of the mining process, proper mine planning and continual monitoring of the ground conditions is essential to ensure a safe …







The system launches off the highwall mining platform and includes a continuous miner, breaker/feeder car, stabiliser module and a varying number of self-propelled conveying cards depending on the depth of the seam being mined. ...
