Ground Control Here
: Using instruments like borehole pressure cells (BPCs) and extensometers to track ground movement and stress changes.
: Optimizing the size of left-behind ore "pillars" to support the roof. Ground Control
In the mining industry, ground control is the science of studying and controlling the behavior of rock strata in response to mining operations. Its primary goal is to prevent the collapse of mine openings by managing stresses and providing artificial support. : Using instruments like borehole pressure cells (BPCs)
: Installing rock bolts (1.5–2.4 m) and cable bolts (4–12 m) to pin large blocks of rock together. Ground Control
