Drifting/Tunnelling

  • Assorted Mining Solutions LLP (AMS) has a highly experienced and skilled team for executing Roadheader-driven drifting and tunnelling operations in underground mines. Our workforce is well-trained in handling modern mechanized equipment and delivering efficient development works under varied geological conditions.
  • Drifting or tunnelling involves the development of horizontal or inclined underground openings to access the coal seam or ore body, as well as to establish essential infrastructure for ventilation, transportation, and services. These activities form a critical part of the mine development stage.
  • AMS specializes in mechanized drifting using Roadheader technology, where continuous excavation is carried out using a rotating cutting head. This method ensures smooth, controlled, and efficient tunnel development without interruptions, making it highly suitable for soft to medium strength formations.
  • The excavated material is efficiently collected and transported using integrated loading and conveying systems, ensuring continuous operation and improved advance rates.
  • For harder rock formations, AMS is equally capable of executing drilling and blasting operations, supported by proper mucking arrangements using LHD/SDL and integration with the mine’s haulage system.
  • Our team has proven expertise in executing mine development works such as inclines, cross-cuts, roadways, and access tunnels, ensuring timely project completion with high standards of quality and safety.
  • With proper planning, effective ground support systems, and strict adherence to safety protocols, AMS ensures stable, efficient, and reliable tunnelling operations under all mining conditions.
