Scope
Why we have to convert UG to OC?
1.Ungerground mines are uneconomical
2.In olden days, Due to lack of sufficient
technology in UG mines for the extraction of
mineral
3.Due to occurence of many GEOLOGICAL
discontinuities in UG
4.OC mines are more safer than the UG mines in
point of ACCIDENTS
Introduction
 The coal production of country in the financial year 2015-16 is
around 538.75 Mt. The share of opencast mines is more than 70%.
 Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is the main source for
supply of coal to the southern region. The company produced 60.38
million tonnes of coal during 2015-16 as against 52.54 million tonnes
during the corresponding period last year
 Opencast mines are shrinking day by day due to exhaustion of virgin
coal. Extraction of coal by Underground mining is very
uneconomical.
 In future there will not be any virgin coal seam for opencast mining
and only alternative for coal production will be by open casting of
developed pillars of underground mines.
 There are nearly 3 to 3.5 BT of coal reserves in standing pillars in
the country and future of mining engineers will be very- very
challenging.
Favourable Conditions
 Keeping in view the disturbed geo-mining conditions,
opencast method of extraction is safe compared to
underground manual method.
 The coal seams are occurring at a relatively shallow
depth of 30mts.
 The deposit should be close to the surface. Formerly
a depth of up to 90 m was considered to be the
limiting depth in India.
 But with the advance of technology now opencast
mining of coal is considered feasible up to about 300
m depth.
 The ratio of overburden to coal should be less. A ratio
of 4: 1 is considered desirable but in some situations
opencast mining up to a ratio of 6: 1 is also
considered economic.
 The topography should be as level as possible.
 The coal seam should be of uniform thickness and
preferably flat.
 A mild climatic condition is generally favoured
Economical Considerations
1.Shallow Depth
2.Stripping Ratio
3.Grade (Quality)
Role of SURVEY in Conversion
 The U/G workings to be quarried shall be isolated by explosion
proof stoppings.
 Before intended to close the U/G mine for conversion to O/C, a
detailed off set survey has to be conducted by using latest survey
equipment's like Total Station etc.
 The U/G mine Manager should give detailed plan of underground
workings with flawless to O/C mine Manager.
 Cleaning of all coal dust and thick stone dusting before
commencement of extraction of pillars
Retaining of key personnel of U/G mine, like Surveyor, Overmen
and Officers for safe and effective operation of O/C mine.
 After completion of all legal and statutory formalities, the mine is
developed as per the permission conditions of DGMS. For safe and
systematic excavation, the mine is divided into four zones viz.
I. SAFE ZONE - White Flags
II. CRITICAL ZONE - Yellow Flags
III. DANGER ZONE - Red Flags
IV. COMPACTED ZONE - Green Flags
Marking Over Galleries
1.The division of mine area into zones will be done
by survey department by referring to old u/g plans.
2.When the critical zone is reached galleries are
marked by placing placards at the junctions.
3.If it is a danger zone the galleries have to be
compacted by drilling and dozing.
CONVERSION PROCESS
Compaction of galleries a critical activity of the U/G
underground converted opencast mine.
A. Drilling
B. Blasting
Role of Drilling & Blasting
(A)Drilling pattern for combined blasting when galleries
are developed in single section
(B)Drilling pattern for combined blasting when galleries
are developed in two sections with superimposed galleries
(C) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the
galleries are developed in two sections and parting
between two sections is more than 6 mtrs
(D) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the
galleries are developed in two sections and both the
sections are not superimposed (i.e. staggered )
(E) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the
galleries are developed in two sections with parting more
than 6m, in the intention to reduce the number of holes
for making charging and blasting comfortable on the
same day

(E) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when
the galleries are developed in two sections with
parting more than 6m, in the intention to
reduce the number of holes for making charging
and blasting comfortable on the same day
CHARGING & BLASTING
OPERATION
 After completion of drilling, Blasting In-
charge shall inspect the area and shall make
estimation of explosives required on the
basis of depth of holes.
 As per DGMS circular no slurry or emulsion
explosives shall be used in fiery holes and
we can’t avoid fire in holes drilled for
combined blasting purpose. Hence,
 Temperature of the holes shall be measured
with Infrared based thermometer and if it
exceeds 80C, the charging shall be stopped.

Bottom seam Out of these three seams, Bottom and Middle seams are
workable coal horizons. Top seam has restricted occurrence in the centre
of main block.
 The property is of basinal in structure and sloping from three sides. The
maximum gradient is 1in5 and the average gradient is 1in10. The seam
thickness as well as the parting between seams varies within a wide range
as shown in table given below.

combination method and The mine having,
1.ROPE SHOVEL-1(10cum)
2.HYDRAULIC SHOVELS-7(6.5cum)
3.DUMPERS:-100t-7,60t-7,35t-23
Mine Plan
Precautions
After proper compaction of the area, again
gallery and junction shall be marked with stone
dust and with `White` flags
The blasted galleries shall not be kept exposed
unnecessarily.
Conclusion
To avoid collapsing of under ground galleries
and bogging down of men and machinery,
effective compaction of galleries will be done
to extract coal from standing pillars by
opencast method. Surveying is very-very
important in U/G turned O/C mine. The plan
submitted by the U/G mine manager should be
very handy and informative. Surveying should
be conducted with latest instrument like, Total
Station etc.

Conversion of Underground Mine to Open Cast Mine

  • 1. CONVERSION OF UNDERGROUND TO OPENCAST Presented by E SUNIL 13671A2509 P AVINASH 13671A2530 ABDUL MUJEEB 13671A2546
  • 2. Scope Why we have to convert UG to OC? 1.Ungerground mines are uneconomical 2.In olden days, Due to lack of sufficient technology in UG mines for the extraction of mineral 3.Due to occurence of many GEOLOGICAL discontinuities in UG 4.OC mines are more safer than the UG mines in point of ACCIDENTS
  • 3. Introduction  The coal production of country in the financial year 2015-16 is around 538.75 Mt. The share of opencast mines is more than 70%.  Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is the main source for supply of coal to the southern region. The company produced 60.38 million tonnes of coal during 2015-16 as against 52.54 million tonnes during the corresponding period last year  Opencast mines are shrinking day by day due to exhaustion of virgin coal. Extraction of coal by Underground mining is very uneconomical.  In future there will not be any virgin coal seam for opencast mining and only alternative for coal production will be by open casting of developed pillars of underground mines.  There are nearly 3 to 3.5 BT of coal reserves in standing pillars in the country and future of mining engineers will be very- very challenging.
  • 4. Favourable Conditions  Keeping in view the disturbed geo-mining conditions, opencast method of extraction is safe compared to underground manual method.  The coal seams are occurring at a relatively shallow depth of 30mts.  The deposit should be close to the surface. Formerly a depth of up to 90 m was considered to be the limiting depth in India.  But with the advance of technology now opencast mining of coal is considered feasible up to about 300 m depth.  The ratio of overburden to coal should be less. A ratio of 4: 1 is considered desirable but in some situations opencast mining up to a ratio of 6: 1 is also considered economic.  The topography should be as level as possible.  The coal seam should be of uniform thickness and preferably flat.  A mild climatic condition is generally favoured
  • 6. Role of SURVEY in Conversion  The U/G workings to be quarried shall be isolated by explosion proof stoppings.  Before intended to close the U/G mine for conversion to O/C, a detailed off set survey has to be conducted by using latest survey equipment's like Total Station etc.  The U/G mine Manager should give detailed plan of underground workings with flawless to O/C mine Manager.  Cleaning of all coal dust and thick stone dusting before commencement of extraction of pillars Retaining of key personnel of U/G mine, like Surveyor, Overmen and Officers for safe and effective operation of O/C mine.  After completion of all legal and statutory formalities, the mine is developed as per the permission conditions of DGMS. For safe and systematic excavation, the mine is divided into four zones viz. I. SAFE ZONE - White Flags II. CRITICAL ZONE - Yellow Flags III. DANGER ZONE - Red Flags IV. COMPACTED ZONE - Green Flags

  • 8. Marking Over Galleries 1.The division of mine area into zones will be done by survey department by referring to old u/g plans. 2.When the critical zone is reached galleries are marked by placing placards at the junctions. 3.If it is a danger zone the galleries have to be compacted by drilling and dozing.
  • 9. CONVERSION PROCESS Compaction of galleries a critical activity of the U/G underground converted opencast mine. A. Drilling B. Blasting
  • 10. Role of Drilling & Blasting (A)Drilling pattern for combined blasting when galleries are developed in single section (B)Drilling pattern for combined blasting when galleries are developed in two sections with superimposed galleries (C) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections and parting between two sections is more than 6 mtrs (D) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections and both the sections are not superimposed (i.e. staggered ) (E) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections with parting more than 6m, in the intention to reduce the number of holes for making charging and blasting comfortable on the same day

  • 13. (C) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections and parting between two sections is more than 6 mtrs COMPACTING ONLY TOP SECTION GALLERIES COMPACTING BOTTOM SECTION GALLERIES IN COAL AFTER EXPOSURE
  • 14. (D) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections and both the sections are not superimposed (i.e. staggered )
  • 15. (E) Drilling pattern for combined blasting when the galleries are developed in two sections with parting more than 6m, in the intention to reduce the number of holes for making charging and blasting comfortable on the same day
  • 16. CHARGING & BLASTING OPERATION  After completion of drilling, Blasting In- charge shall inspect the area and shall make estimation of explosives required on the basis of depth of holes.  As per DGMS circular no slurry or emulsion explosives shall be used in fiery holes and we can’t avoid fire in holes drilled for combined blasting purpose. Hence,  Temperature of the holes shall be measured with Infrared based thermometer and if it exceeds 80C, the charging shall be stopped.

  • 20. Geology  Gouthamkhani Area has three coal seams viz., Top seam, Middle seam and Bottom seam Out of these three seams, Bottom and Middle seams are workable coal horizons. Top seam has restricted occurrence in the centre of main block.  The property is of basinal in structure and sloping from three sides. The maximum gradient is 1in5 and the average gradient is 1in10. The seam thickness as well as the parting between seams varies within a wide range as shown in table given below. seam Thickness of seams (in mtrs.) Thickness of partition (in mtrs.) From To From To Top seam 3.20 11.80 10.00 23.00 Middle seam 1.80 11.40 4.30 44.50 Bottom seam 2.40 29.0

  • 23. Precautions After proper compaction of the area, again gallery and junction shall be marked with stone dust and with `White` flags The blasted galleries shall not be kept exposed unnecessarily.
  • 24. Conclusion To avoid collapsing of under ground galleries and bogging down of men and machinery, effective compaction of galleries will be done to extract coal from standing pillars by opencast method. Surveying is very-very important in U/G turned O/C mine. The plan submitted by the U/G mine manager should be very handy and informative. Surveying should be conducted with latest instrument like, Total Station etc.
