Abstract:
A method for lining mining and tunnel constructions with a support material (20) comprises the steps of: • a. providing a plurality of lay wires (24) in the long direction; • b. providing a plurality of stay wires (22) in the cross direction, the stay wires making intersections with said lay wires (24); • c. providing knot wires (28) to attach the lay wires (24) to the stay wires (22) in at least some of the intersections so as to form the support material; • d. installing the support material (20) against a ceiling or a wall of a mining or tunnel construction by means of bolts.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a device providing a combined boring and placement system for jacket tubes (5), which after introduction into a borehole, for the creation of a drainage system or a pipe roof or an anchoring or a tubular pile, remain in the rock mass and which, when creating the borehole, with an extension piece (4) of a drill rod assembly (2), wherein the extension piece (4) is fitted with a non-recoverable drill bit (6) which for this purpose can be partially or fully detached from the extension piece (4), wherein the drill bit(6) is connected with the assigned extension piece(4) of the drill rod assembly(2) via a locking element (20) that secures it against rotation, which to this end is arranged in a cage (21) formed by the drill bit (6), extension piece(4) and jacket tube(5) and which can be released by the jacket tube (5) covering the cage (21).
Abstract:
The invention provides kit comprising a rock anchor (20) having a static mixer (60) and a two part resin system (80,90) wherein a first part (80) of the resin system comprises an isocyanate and a second part (90) of the resin system comprises a silicate; a rock anchor secured in a ground formation (140); and a method of securing a rock anchor.
Abstract:
A strand (20) for a cable bolt (14) comprises a plurality of metallic elongated members (22, 24) twisted together. At least one of the elongated members has a corrosion resistant coating (54) and surface deformation, so as to improve the bodig efficency and the anchorage of the strand.
Abstract:
A connection for rock bolts (4, 5) for use in mining or tunnelling has a connecting element (1) for connecting rock bolts (4, 5) which is to be screwed onto a section (6, 7) of a rock bolt (4, 5) provided with an external thread (10, 11). The connection comprises, on the one hand, an external thread (10, 11) of the rock bolt (4, 5) formed as a round thread (12, 13) and, on the other hand, an internal thread (8, 9) of the connecting element (1) with a polygonal cross- section.
Abstract:
For the purpose of producing boreholes (2) in the combined drilling and setting process, a tube spile (4), which subsequently remains in the borehole (2), is driven into the latter via a coupling sleeve (6). Said coupling sleeve (6) is constructed as a combined thrusting, striking and ejecting adapter (10), and therefore ensures both the propulsion of the tube spile and the transmission of the power of the drilling machine to the drill rod (5) and thereby the drill bit (3). Said drill bit (3) is secured on the drill rod (5), or rather its front end (37), via an axial fixing system (55) against unintended detachment.
Abstract:
A particularly economical securing method, which at the same time displays high operational safety, for horizontal and inclined workings in underground mining and tunnel construction provides for one or more bolts to be drilled out, inserted and positioned in a defined operation and scheme from the already supported and secured roadway area by means of a projecting carriage without requiring further manual intervention. Subsequently, the roof bolt heads from the area fully secured with bolts are provided in series or round for round with a flexible lagging and fixed there with auxiliary elements, so that the lagging already abuts tight against the rock and prevents relatively small rock fragments from falling down. Only subsequently are the lagging holding and crown plates applied and provided with fastening and clamping elements.
Abstract:
The present invention relatesto a two-part composition suitable for use in the preparation of a foamed material wherein the first part comprises a source of metal ions and water and the second part comprises an isocyanate, wherein the ratio of NCO isocyanate towater to metal ions is1mol : 3.5 to 5.5mol : 95 to 650mmol. Also forming part of the invention is a foamed isocyanate material, a method of preparing the material and controlling foam formation and uses of the composition and material.
Abstract:
Rock bolts (1) exist in various forms, wherein it is particularly advantageous if the discharge end (4) is provided with a mixing head (15), into which the required exit hole (8) is integrated. This exit hole (8) is protected by the shape of the head (16) of the mixing head (15) in such a way that a reliable discharge of the anchoring mixture is always guaranteed even if there are drillings still situated in the borehole. Furthermore, the anchoring cartridge (7) upon the application of pressure is reliably torn open so that the two components pass into the region of the static mixer (9) and are then discharged in the mixed state so that the cavity (12) around the bolt tube (2) is reliably filled.
Abstract:
21 ABSTRACT ANCHORING BOLTHAVING AN EXTRUDINGPISTON The invention provides an anchoring bolt comprising: a bolt tube having an inner wall which forms one or more indentations; and5 an extruding piston which has a sealing part to engage the one or more indentations to seal the extruding piston against the inner wall and/or to guide movement of the extruding piston through the bolt tube. Figure 1 is to be provided for publication.10
