Sinopsis

Master the science and practice of mine surveying with practical methods that improve accuracy, safety, and decision-making in underground work.

This book presents the essential theory, historical context, and real-world techniques used to survey mines. It emphasizes careful measurement, mapping, and planning to determine boundaries, locate shafts, estimate ore value, and protect underground operations.

- Grounded guidance on instruments and methods, from transits and levels to tapes and the latest tooling for underground work
- How to conduct underground traverses, project shafts, and connect surface and subsurface measurements accurately
- Practical problem scenarios and step‑by‑step reasoning for locating shafts, calculating depths, and determining ore tonnage
- Realistic discussion of challenges like poor light, gas, dust, and tight spaces, plus strategies to minimize disruption to mining

Ideal for students and professionals seeking a solid, hands‑on foundation in mine surveying and its mining applications.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from A Study of Mine Surveying Methods and Their Applications to Mining Engineering

These notes, problems and observations have been compiled in order to present in useful form for the student much that is today scattered among various texts on surveying and much from practical work that is not included in the average series of lectures on mine surveying.

The surveying. Of lode and placer claims has been omitted, as the present methods of conducting such work are very differ ent from practice in underground work, and recent legislation has caused considerable confusion in all mineral surveys.

Mine surveying is really one part of mining engineering. The purpose of these notes is to show how mine surveying enters into all the other phases of mining engineering and what meth ods are best adapted to each kind of work.
