Underground Mine Timbering & Support

Installation Of Timber. A few remarks about the erection of timber sets may be of interest to the less experienced operator. In addition to a pick and shovel, the customary tools required by a timberman and helper are a single-bitted, 4-lb. timberman's ax and a timberman's saw (3 to 5 ft. with deep teeth).

Tunnels and underground excavations

Tunnels and underground excavations - Tunneling techniques: Tunnels are generally grouped in four broad categories, depending on the material through which they pass: soft ground, consisting of soil and very weak rock; hard rock; soft rock, such as shale, chalk, and friable sandstone; and subaqueous. While these four broad types of ground condition …
