Longwall punch mining System was initially applied in Australia in 1990 for developing flat seams in longwall faces. Windways and belt entries were made from the highwall. In the depth of the highwall a mechanized longwall set of equipment is installed meant for underground extraction with

Rapid access longwall mining' or 'longwail punch mining' is a proposed extraction method whereby longwall gate roads are driven into a seam directly from an opencut highwall. The longwall panel thus formed is retreated back to within 40 m of the highwall providing an extremely simple, reliable and therefore highly productive longwall mining …

Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice, typically 0.6–1.0 meters thick. The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3–4 km long and 250–400 meters wide. The mining process involves the use of a large cutting machine, the longwall shearer, which ...

The Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) roof support allows mining to a total seam height of more than 10 m (33 ft) by using a longwall shearer to cut the bottom 2.80 – 3 m (9.20 – 9.80 ft) and then caving the top coal behind the roof supports onto a rear AFC. This type of longwall is in service for example at a mine in the

An alternative method of mining is advance longwall mining. In longwall advancing, the longwall face is set up a short distance from the main development headings. The gate entries of the longwall face are formed as the coal is mined. The gate roadways are thus formed adjacent to the goaf. Normally the gate roads are protected …
