Long-term exposure to respirable coal and silica dust during underground tunnelling operations has gained increasing attention in recent years. The solution to effective mitigation of dust exposure depends not only on higher-order engineering controls, but also on administrative controls for frontline workers. However, there is a disconnect between knowledge gathered in the field of dust exposure monitoring and the frontline worker, resulting in important learnings being overlooked in underground tunnelling operations. To remedy this discrepancy, an immersive educational tool was developed to visualise computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling datasets of ventilation and respirable dust flow characteristics in the tunnel face in a virtual reality (VR) environment. An algorithm was developed for processing the large and complex CFD datasets into a form that can be processed and visualised using standalone VR headsets with limited processing power. The VR-CFD system was assessed by an ....
"Extremist" Orthodox Hasidic students, who reportedly hired migrants to create a tunnel under a Brooklyn synagogue, believed they were following a religious calling ....
I would put my hand in the ground and have a little listen to what the mountain was doing. Actually, it was still collapsing. And there was a very real possibility that at some stage, without warning, the collapse could continue and continue across us, the people who were doing the rescue and also across to the men on the other side, who were being rescued. ....
