AN EFFECTIVE FACE SUPPORT SYSTEM TO MINIMISE ROCKFALLS (2008)

An effective prototype face support system to minimise rockfalls in rockfall-prone mines was developed and patented during a project sponsored by the Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC). An experimental development model (XDM) roof support unit was developed and evaluated. Mines with rockfall problems in the face areas can use the roof support system to reduce fatalities and injuries in the face area of  stopes.
