| Objective of the workshop: |
|
| The commitment to reach 1.5 BT by the end of 2019-20 while addressing environmental and social issues needs introduction of mass production technology for enhancing coal production from underground mines. In this context, the role of The Singareni Collieries Company Limited in introduction and more importantly sustaining underground mining technologies needs appreciation in general and in particular the recent performance of their Adriyala Longwall Project, which is India’s largest underground coal mining project with a potential to produce 3 MTPA.
|
|
| Workshop was organized to showcase the experience gained in Adriyala Longwall Project, which will pave way for introduction of such high end Longwall Technology elsewhere and help in overcoming the earlier impediments and boosting confidence in underground mining technology to facilitate more such technological achievements across the country in the coming years. High capital projects require robust project management skills and continuous risk mitigation strategies to accomplish the projects within the schedule and costs. Use of technology, remote and dynamic monitoring of health and performance of equipment plays vital role in reaping the benefits of using capital intensive technologies.
|
|
| Bulk production from deep-seated underground coal mines is the need for economic mining. Adriyala project has carved a success story and this workshop was organized to share the learning and deliberate on future prospects. The event provided a platform to bring together eminent Professionals from Government, Industry, Manufacturers, Scientific Institutions and Universities to discuss and deliberate on key issues related to High Capacity Longwall Equipment for enhancing underground production.
