1/1/1987 - Reports of InvestigationsThree possible limited-coverage design scenarios (roll bars, sliding canopies, and flip-top canopies) were designed, fabricated, and evaluated for low-coal shuttle cars. All three designs were determined to be feasible and desirable.

1/1/1986 - Reports of InvestigationsAn investigation of the effectiveness of methane drainage in the lower Sunnyside coalbed at Kaiser Steel Corp. Sunnyside No. 1 Mine in Utah. Most previous attempts to drain methane gas using long horizontal holes were conducted in the eastern coal provi...

1/1/1985 - Reports of InvestigationsInvestigation of coal-mine-type short-delay electric detonators to determine the delay accuracy and the probability of overlap between adjacent delay periods.
-
1/1/1985 - Reports of InvestigationsCriteria were documented for the recognition and prediction of discontinuities in advance of mining.
-
1/1/1984 - Reports of InvestigationsSince 1970, abnormally high methane emissions have been observed in eastern sections of the Federal No. 2 Mine operating in the Pittsburgh coalbed in northern West Virginia. The nature and volume of these emissions indicate a source other than the coalb...
-
12/1/1983 - Reports of InvestigationsMajor problems facing the development of coal and gas resources of the Hartshorne Coalbeds include the complex distribution of minable and unminable coal, high methane content and bed pressure, faulting, variations in degree of dip, presence of natural ...
-
1/1/1982 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines has developed several techniques for draining methane from coalbeds in advance of mining. Drilling long horizontal holes from an underground location is one such technique, which was successfully demonstrated in the Pittsburgh and Su...

Probability of Encountering Coalbed Discontinuities During Vertical and Horizontal Borehole Drilling1/1/1982 - Reports of InvestigationsProbabilities of encountering coalbed discontinuities during vertical or horizontal drilling in a specific coalbed can be estimated based on analysis of mined-out areas of the coalbed where the size, shape, orientation, and distribution of discontinuiti...
-
1/1/1980 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines has designed and put into operation a fail-safe control system for use in underground coal mines equipped with methane drainage pipelines. This control system can detect certain unsafe conditions and respond by automatically shutting...
