Underground Mining Research Team

The subject of research work is broadly defined as the technology of making underground mine workings, their protection, strengthening, maintenance and monitoring of changes, especially in the context of their stability and other environmental conditions. Research activities focus both on rock excavation techniques, the design and optimization of mining systems for coal, metal ores, salt deposits, as well as on the use of mine workings for other purposes, after mining is completed. Advanced experimental research is carried out both at mines and in laboratories using available modern research methodologies, with cooperation in interdisciplinary teams at home and internationally.
