My Father worked here far many years, located in Helensberg NSW, he took my brother and I down to the underground stables where they used to keep the pit ponies, it still had hay, harnesses and fences all intact. I later worked there for a weeks work experience, underground with a mechanical fitter, repairing shuttle cars etc. It was 100 years old then, great to see it is still operational.

The military has more powerful transmitters that they use to locate caves, mines, voids underground as they fly over a landscape. To the mining roof support-coal mines insert roof bolts into the ceiling with epoxy in front of the bolts to secure them every 5' apart. The other method is to use large wood beams across and supported by "cribs" with heavy gauge screen wire in between sections of the mine to catch any pieces that break loose they call "widow makers".

It's funny how it looks exactly like where I'm from in the coal fields of Southwest Virginia Appalachian mountains. The mine, prep plant, and the surrounding mountains. You can't tell much of a difference from an aerial view. I no longer live there, but growing up everyone I knew had something to do with coal. The Obama years sure took its toll on an entire region. Those joy miners and shuttle cars were developed where I grew up. This way of mining coal was developed in the Appalachian mountains of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. Amazing! I know guys who would travel all over the world educating coal producers. Now Peabody mines coal all over the world, including out West and Illinois. My brother n law is a foreman in Alabama. I guess Peabody is Americas largest coal producer. I don't think I've ever seen a piner like this one. Is this a long wall mines. I've never seen a long wall supports like these either. Of course it's been years since I've been underground. Yes I have since I got a better look.

I only spent 6 years in an underground pit. Got in as a 47 y/o cleanskin during the mining boom. Out with the bust. This bought back memories. As a car driver and sometimes cablehand and general dog's body in development panels of a bord and pillar mine. The warning sound of the miner's movements gave me flashbacks. It is a very shitty place to work but the pay was good enough and we had lots of laughs while doing a tough gig. Sadly, the best thing about the place was the blokes and the worse thing about the place was the blokes. A bigger collection of dumb, lazy overpaid morons I have never met! We went bust due to low coal prices and increased operating costs. We killed cables and gear like it was free! Those that wasted their pay and didn't find another high paying mining gig are now learning what it's like to be a labourer on 50k a year. Glad to have ticked that box and be debt free but very glad to be out of it and shiftwork. Stuff that, life is too short. Stay safe boys.

Plus the constant flexing, unwinding and retracting of the power cables surely wear the out over time causing kinks and breaks in the line. 2 - even though I KNOW it a mine, it made me a little fascinated that the machines were back coal dust dirty. I 'expected' them to be pristine white and clean. Guess I didn't expect this workplace to be dirty from being used.

Ringinator They are called "bat bags" and they are part of the explosion suppression system of the mine.They are made of a brittle type of plastic that will break open easily in the event of an explosion and disperse the stone dust into the atmosphere.It is to stop a methane explosion from propagating into a coal dust explosion.The pressure wave from a methane explosion will cause coal dust from the ribs(sides) ,floor etc to be stirred up into the path of the flame front of the initial methane explosion and as coal dust is also explosive it will then ignite,stirring up more coal dust and the explosion with then be self propagating and will travel throughout the mine.The stone dust which is also applied to the coal ribs then intermingles with the coal dust creating an inert mixture and hopefully stops the explosion from propagating.

The other method is to use large wood beams across and supported by "cribs" with heavy gauge screen wire in between sections of the mine to catch any pieces that break loose they call "widow makers".

It's funny how it looks exactly like where I'm from in the coal fields of Southwest Virginia Appalachian mountains. The mine, prep plant, and the surrounding mountains. You can't tell much of a difference from an aerial view. I no longer live there, but growing up everyone I knew had something to do with coal. The Obama years sure took its toll on an entire region. Those joy miners and shuttle cars were developed where I grew up. This way of mining coal was developed in the Appalachian mountains of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. Amazing! I know guys who would travel all over the world educating coal producers. Now Peabody mines coal all over the world, including out West and Illinois. My brother n law is a foreman in Alabama. I guess Peabody is Americas largest coal producer. I don't think I've ever seen a piner like this one. Is this a long wall mines. I've never seen a long wall supports like these either. Of course it's been years since I've been underground. Yes I have since I got a better look.

I only spent 6 years in an underground pit. Got in as a 47 y/o cleanskin during the mining boom. Out with the bust. This bought back memories. As a car driver and sometimes cablehand and general dog's body in development panels of a bord and pillar mine. The warning sound of the miner's movements gave me flashbacks. It is a very shitty place to work but the pay was good enough and we had lots of laughs while doing a tough gig. Sadly, the best thing about the place was the blokes and the worse thing about the place was the blokes. A bigger collection of dumb, lazy overpaid morons I have never met! We went bust due to low coal prices and increased operating costs. We killed cables and gear like it was free! Those that wasted their pay and didn't find another high paying mining gig are now learning what it's like to be a labourer on 50k a year. Glad to have ticked that box and be debt free but very glad to be out of it and shiftwork. Stuff that, life is too short. Stay safe boys.

Ringinator They are called "bat bags" and they are part of the explosion suppression system of the mine.They are made of a brittle type of plastic that will break open easily in the event of an explosion and disperse the stone dust into the atmosphere.It is to stop a methane explosion from propagating into a coal dust explosion.The pressure wave from a methane explosion will cause coal dust from the ribs(sides) ,floor etc to be stirred up into the path of the flame front of the initial methane explosion and as coal dust is also explosive it will then ignite,stirring up more coal dust and the explosion with then be self propagating and will travel throughout the mine.The stone dust which is also applied to the coal ribs then intermingles with the coal dust creating an inert mixture and hopefully stops the explosion from propagating.

When I was 17 , I started out in the coal mines digging ditch and then later packing timber up the raises . After 6 months in the mine you get a miners permit that allows you to go and work at the mining face . Another year doing this and you write a test for your A class miners papers and get to be an operator . I ran a Joy Continous . Lots of dust in the winter time - lots of timber when you drive a decline - building a road called corduroy so the miner does not get stuck .This was for a company called Coleman Collieries in the Crows Nest Pass in Alberta . When I was 21 - then changed to working in a hard rock mine.

The air just doesn’t get pulled from underground you need it to enter through another vent shaft for the vent fan to pull air through the mine. No drifts at that mine

Not true anyway. Most are exhausting but Ive worked some that pushed it in. The first time was middle of winter on a new panel 12 breaks from the drift mouth. Insulated clothes were a must and shuttle car guys wore goggles to keep the dust out of tbeir eyes when they turned into the last open break. Talk about miserable.

What is the purpose of meshing the ceiling? It doesn't seem like it wouldn't hold up any significant weight in the case of a cave-in, but I'm totally ignorant in this regard. Can anyone enlighten me?

From rock explotions. You can even see in alot of the footage that the mesh holds considerable amount of rock.

There is a bit to it, but basically the mesh and bolts create a "beam" and supports the immediate roof. The "ribs" (walls) support the roof in an arc, think like a tunnel, so it's like placing a beam on top.

It’s rock dust if there was a fire it’d melt the bags and rock dust would put the fire out

@@nickvandiver6501 close but not quite, the pressure wave from an explosion would shake the bags and release limestone/rock dust which prevents coal dust from igniting. so it doesn't put out a fire it just stops an explosion from spreading.
