and R- 5 have been worked. These seams are classified as Degree-I
gassiness.

GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES

• All precautions stipulated under CMR, 2017 and circulars issued by DGMS from time to
time are strictly complied with, for the maintenance of safe working condition in the
mine.

ANTICIPATED DANGERS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES

1. Spontaneous heating
2. Noxious Gases and Inflammable Gases
3. Dust
4. Strata Control and parting between Two Sections
5. Surface Structures
6. Subsidence
7. Blasting
8. Scientific Study
9. Permission/relaxation from DGMS
PRECAUTION AGAINST FIRE AND SPONTANEOUS HEATINGS

The anticipated main source of fire and spontaneous within the proposed
underground is
a) Loss of coal in the goaf due to percentage of extraction, roof coal wherever the
thickness of coal seam is more than the proposed thickness of extraction and
b) Loss of parting coal between two sections: While extracting two section along
the roof and floor of the seam, part of the coal is left in the parting between two
sections. This fall of coal in the goaf may be the potential source of spontaneous
heating and fire.
c) Spontaneous heating of coal in coal stock.

UNDERGROUND MEASURES TO PREVENT THE DANGERS

a) Nitrogen Flushing
b) Determination of Crossing Point Temperature
c) Regular and Rapid advances of Coal Faces
d) Detailed Geological Investigation
e) Isolation Stopping
f) Hydraulic fluid and Fire Resistant material
SURFACE MEASURES TO PREVENT THE DANGERS

• Surface Cracks to be filled with Non-combustible material to prevent air leakage

• Rapid Loading System of coal with silo to minimize coal stock

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST NOXIOUS GASES AND INFLAMMABLE GASES

• The degree of gassiness of other underlying seams of R6 seam are not known , it should
be determined and all the precautions specified in CMR 2017 together with the statutes
• Regular monitoring of mine atmosphere
• Blind heading where ever present and working faces should be ventilated with the
auxiliary fans.
• Only approved type fuel should be used below ground for FSV (Free Steered Vehicle),
Multi Utility Vehicle and Shield Hauler should be used
SIGNALING AND LIGHTING
Sufficient lighting as per standards should be provided at all the required places
i.e. at all coal transfer points, loading points, working faces, along trunk and gate
belts, feeder breaker, switch gear and maintenance area.

Good communication between face, conveyor drives, key points in underground,

surface control rooms, offices, workshop etc., is essential for efficient
operations.
PRECAUTION AGAINST DUST

• All the work force present at the working face and the individual district should be
provided with mask.
• It is suggested that regular and systematic sampling of air-borne dust is to be
made for control of air bore dust to safe concentration level.
• It is suggested that regular and systematic sampling of air-borne dust is to be
made for control of air borne dust to safe concentration level.
• Adequate provisions have been made in this report for supply of water from
surface for dust suppression in all the working panel.

PRECAUTION FOR STRATA CONTROL AND PARTING BETWEEN TWO SECTIONS

• estimation of capacity of powered support

• Adequate no. of convergence recorder, load cells etc.
• Record of local fall and main fall should be properly maintained and analyzed.
• strata-monitoring cell should be established at the project level
• Depillaring of panels in lower seam / section should not be done unless goaf
of overlying panel is settled / consolidated at least for three years. Liquidation
plan has been prepared accordingly.
CONSERVATION
For the conservation of coal, the following measures have been adopted:
• Long wall technology has been proposed to minimize the coal loss.
• Shifting of surface features are proposed wherever possible to avoid the loss
of depillaring reserve below surface features.
• Faults have been made where ever possible as panel barrier to minimize the
loss of reserve against faults.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY
The following scientific study for the project is necessarily required:
• Determination of Roof strength and support design
• Determination of degree of gassiness, cavability index, Physico-Mechanical
properties of the strata above the coal seams.
• Stability of parting between Seams or between two sections.
• Impact of goaf of upper seam on the workings of lower seam.
• In-seam seismic survey of the seams having low borehole density.
• Geo-physical survey of the coal seams
• Ventilation Study

• The present state of the art technology will not be feasible to be operated with the
conditions in the R-V seam as it is thicker and full extraction would not be possible.

• The rising demand for coal has to bring in innovations and implications of latest
technologies adopted presently in the world.

• To extract full thickness of coal we need to adopt technologies like Longwall Top Coal
Caving, Multi-Layer Slicing, and Integrated Longwall Techniques.

Major mechanization still to be adopted at Jhanjra Project Colliery:

• Small track mounted man riding arrangement in long main gate roadways

• Mechanization for small jobs like cleaning of belts, capital activity

• Integrated bolter miner for capital activities like drivage between two seams, crossing
of geological disturbances with high capacity

• Tube Bundle System for gas monitoring at Longwall face

• Refuge Centre to cater to man deployed belowground in times of distress/emergency

• With advent of rising demands in Global Coal and Indian Coal consuming industries
the rate of production has to be increased at a higher rate.

• Underground Mining contributes only 6-7% of the total production but it has to be
augmented to sustain in the near future

• Presently there are only 2 sets of Longwall operating in Coal India but the number of
Longwall packages operational has to be increased

• The history of Long wall technology in India is not so satisfactory due to several
reasons but it is successful in Jhanjra Project Colliery.

• There is much that Indian coal industry can learn from Chinese experiences in Long
wall technology, especially for thick seam mining using sub-level caving

• Coal industry must accept the challenge of transplanting the international best
practices into India with more effective face management on a consistent basis

• It is a step to achieve our dream of producing 3.5MT of coal per annum, a step towards
achieving the vision of Coal India Limited of producing 1 billion tons of coal by 2020.
