: It is one of the most vital safety aspects, as roof, rib, and face falls were responsible for nearly 40% of all underground fatalities between 1999 and 2008. Key Techniques :
: Optimizing the size of left-behind ore "pillars" to support the roof. Ground Control
: Installing rock bolts (1.5–2.4 m) and cable bolts (4–12 m) to pin large blocks of rock together. : It is one of the most vital
: Mine operators are often required to maintain a Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) to document their approach to assessing and controlling geotechnical hazards. 2. Surveying & Drone Mapping Ground Control
: Using instruments like borehole pressure cells (BPCs) and extensometers to track ground movement and stress changes.
