: Installing rock bolts (1.5–2.4 m) and cable bolts (4–12 m) to pin large blocks of rock together.
: Using instruments like borehole pressure cells (BPCs) and extensometers to track ground movement and stress changes. Ground Control
: It is one of the most vital safety aspects, as roof, rib, and face falls were responsible for nearly 40% of all underground fatalities between 1999 and 2008. Key Techniques : : Installing rock bolts (1
: Mine operators are often required to maintain a Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) to document their approach to assessing and controlling geotechnical hazards. 2. Surveying & Drone Mapping Ground Control
