Extinguishing coal mine fires by remote sealing. Volume I. Operations manual
The operations manual describes basic procedures and system specifications for the remote mine sealing system developed under the contract. The objective of the system described in the manual is to extinguish coal mine fires by remote sealing of the underground passageways. The system developed is versatile enough to function under a wide range of operating conditions including large variations in passageway geometry, depth of mine, water conditions both in the mine and at the surface, and rubble in the mine passage. The system includes instrumentation for the remote probing of the passageway prior to sealing, a system for sealing the mine passages, and instrumentation for remote monitoring of the quality of the seal during and after construction.
