The steps in safe longwall movement in coal mine operations are presented. Moving is essentially made up of the casing, repair, transport, and installation of the self-advancing (powered) support. Direct longwall moving with only partial assemble of powered supports is distinguished from moving which requires disassembly of the self-advancing supports into transportable units.
