Excavation Methods

Vertical Shafts. There are 4 methods in general use: Conventional drill, blast & remove stone ("muck out") to surface with a winder. If the shaft is to be "lined" (i.e. sides to be covered with a concrete or even a steel lining), this is normally placed as the shaft is excavated. Drill a pilot borehole from surface to existing underground ...
