Surface Support in Mining

Editors: Yves Potvin, Dick Stacey and John Hadjigeorgiou
Publisher: Australian Centre for Geomechanics
ISBN: 0-9756756-0-5
Number of Pages: 416

Surface Support in Mining – an ideal reference to provide guidance and advice to industry professionals wanting to know more about surface support and reinforcement. While mesh and shotcrete remain the most popular form of surface support in mines, the newest product offering, thin spray-on liners (TSL), has captured the attention of the global mining community.

Are TSLs safe? What are the health risks to workers? How do they compare to mesh and shotcrete? What are the lab tests and field trials revealing? Are they suitable for my operation? Are they cost effective? What sites have used TSLs?

The first part of this book is dedicated to TSL technology. The second part features selected contributions from mining professionals that were presented at a series of International Seminars and Workshops on Surface Support Liners held in Australia (2001), South Africa (2002) and Canada (2003).
