Filling Old Mines With Sand In European Practices
Old mine workings are dangerous and can cause collapses in nearby houses. European and Australian mines employ sand filling to stabilize abandoned workings, a costly but permanent solution. The Shamrock mine in Westphalia shows sand fills to 1,900 feet depth and 3,100 feet horizontal reach, while Myslowits colliery films 3,000 tons daily. A sand bank 20 feet thick and 1,500 feet long provides the material, with steam shovels loading cars hauled by locomotives. Two boreholes reach 780 and 1,100 feet respectively.
