The mining input technologies were divided into 12 nodes, and data from a sample of 150 first-tier mining suppliers was analysed. It was found that, in general, there is a high local content in mining input technologies, particularly as regards technical support services, artefacts, and machine technologies.

during drilling can be converted to suitably scaled features so that a neural network can classify mine roofstrata in terms of relative strength. The feasibility of this concept has been demonstrated in the laboratory. The research project was undertaken in order to increase the safety ofunderground miners, especially those involved in roofbolting.
Authors: C Mark. Perhaps the most significant development in coal mine ground control during the last century was the introduction of roof bolting during the late 1940's and 1950's. From an engineering standpoint, roof bolts are inherently more effective than the wood timbers they replaced. Roof bolts promised to dramatically reduce the …

The drilling machine was operated from a platform on the roadhead machine. At the beginning of the shift the arch had been set by the previous shift and the roofbolting was to complete, a second arch was set and bolted and a third arch had been set and the roofbolting in front of the crown was being completed.

The 1-2-3-layer support system is often used in deep mines and underground caverns of large span, such as underground machine halls in hydropower plants. This support system is characterised by its flexibility in order to adapt to the prevailing rock condition. In civil tunnels, cable bolting is less used than in mining excavations.
