The risk of explosions in coal mines is an important subject that requires a comprehensive understanding of explosion dynamics, mining operations, and mining safety. Recent spontaneous combustion events in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland have resulted in mine evacuations due to a Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) being activated at the evacuation level. A sound basis is required for defining the high-risk working zones, mine operational exclusion zones for both emergency activities and mine design considerations, and public exclusion zones during emergency situations. This paper present...

In Australian underground coal mines spontaneous combustion management of the goaf environment revolves around the use of a Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP). When appropriately designed the TARP is a very effective frontline tool for spontaneous combustion hazard management. However, other supplementary management tools including a highly skilled interactive management team are needed to ensure spontaneous combustion management of the goaf is effectively controlled to minimise the risk of an event developing and subsequently escalating. This philosophy has been adopted at the Narrabri Coal ...

ABSTRACT: The Pike River mine exploded on the 19 November 2010. Thirty-one (31) men were working underground at the time of the explosion and only two men were able to escape. The Pike River Recovery Agency was established in January 2018 to conduct a safe manned re-entry and recovery of the Pike River mine drift to gather evidence to better understand what happened in 2010. SCT Operations Pty Ltd (SCT) have been engaged to assist with the management of strata control hazards as part of the planning and implementation phases of the drift recovery. Initial geotechnical assessments comprised rev...
