Shaft mining or shaft sinking is the action of excavating a mine shaft from the top down, where there is initially no access to the bottom. [1] Shallow shafts , typically sunk for civil engineering projects, differ greatly in execution method from deep shafts, typically sunk for mining projects.
To achieve the first goal, five steam pumps with a total capacity of 79.29 m 3 /min were used – three drainage machines at the drainage shafts: Schmidt I [75] [76] (sinking began in 1855, [74] drainage machine put into use in 1858, [77] in 1859 riveted pipes made of 3 ⁄ 8-inch (9.5 mm) thick boiler plate with a diameter of 36 inches (910 mm ...
The area of the former Fryderyk Smelting Works (formerly the Zamet Mechanical Works, currently Zamet Budowa Maszyn S.A.) is located in the north-western district of Tarnowskie Góry – Strzybnica [] – between Zagórska Street [] (part of national road 11 []), Father Edward Płonka Street (formerly Metalowców Street), [4] Kościelna Street, and – until 22 December 2016 [5] – Zametowska ...
The drilling of the shafts began in October 1783. 72 miners were involved in the work. After 9 months of intensive work, on July 16, 1784, rich lead and silver ore deposit was found at a depth of 18 m in "Rudolfina" shaft. Two days later a similar discovery was made in the shafts "Łyszczonek" and "Opal".
Before the start of World War Two, John Branner Newsom, a California mining engineer, invented and patented a core drill that could take out large diameter cores (>5 ft.) up to 10 feet in length for mining shafts. [4] This type of shaft-sinking drill is no longer in use as it was cumbersome, prone to jamming with cuttings, thus slow compared to ...
The Magny shaft is one of the main shafts of the Ronchamp colliery, located in the commune of Magny-Danigon, in the French department of Haute-Saône and the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. With a depth of 694 meters, it was the deepest mine shaft in France when it was commissioned in 1878.
