Assessing Longwall Mining Impacts on the Forests Above
Longwall mining is a method of carving "hallways" into underground coal seams and then mining long corridors of coal adjacent to the hallway. As the coal is mined and carried away via conveyer belt to the surface, the ceiling above the mined coal collapses. This can cause subsidence on the surface. Erin Pfeil-McCullough, a graduate …
Longwall Mining Equipment
We have been designing and building longwall plows since 1941 – and things have come a long way. Technical developments since 1990 have once again established plowing as the preferred longwall mining method for seams below 1.8 m (71 in). plows offer world-leading features that other manufacturers cannot and a cost of ownership

Longwall mining
Energy. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.
