In longwall mining, a panel of coal, typically around 150 to 300 metres wide, 1000 to 3500 metres long and 2 to 5 metres thick, is totally removed by longwall shearing machinery, which travels back and forth across the coalface. A typical section through a coal face is shown in Fig. 1.2 and a photograph of typical longwall face equipment is shown in Fig. 1.3. The shearer cuts a slice of coal ...
