WhatsApp: +86 18203695377• Coal has been mined in the United States for more than 200 years. Most of today's mines are in coal reserves that had previously been avoided because of poor roof conditions. These mines are frequently deeper and may have abandoned mines above and/or below them which often exert additional stress on the roof and ribs.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Mining roof bolt basics. Roof bolting is a method of inserting metal rods into a mine roof to prevent roof collapse. The introduction of mining roof bolts in the 1940s has resulted in the standardisation of roof support systems that could not be destroyed by blasting. As a result, mining roof bolts have contributed to a significant decrease in roof fall fatality rates for underground coal mines.
