Rampura Agucha Mine

• Established Seismic Monitoring System and designed the Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) to safely overcome the challenges of rock burst in deep mining levels.
• Introduced MD bolts for rehabilitation work in squeezing ground with high deformation potential, for LOM developments.

Rampura Agucha Mine, India

• Key Responsibilities:
• Successfully developed, implemented and updated Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP).
• Prepared and executed geotechnical monitoring & instrumentation plans at strategic locations for LOM.
• Monitored paste fill behavior during underhand mining and established paste strength curve for different combinations of cement & fly-ash.
• Scrutinized long term mine designs to control the rate of deformation and achieve a stable mining front.
• Utilized borehole camera for damage mapping inside LOM raises, ore passes and hand held ZEB-Revo Scanner for convergence monitoring.

Rampura Agucha Mine, Rajasthan

• Key Responsibilities:
• Investigated rock bolt failure causes & provided training to jumbo operators of different sections to improve ground support installation practices.
• Successfully completed projects on optimization of ground support design as per rock mass conditions to reduce development and stoping cycle time.
• Developed short term production plans by extending support to mine planning department to achieve the business plan.
• Examined ground conditions and developed hazard plans through damage mapping and rehabilitation plans.
• Successfully trialed and developed indigenous bolts to reduce cost of production.

Rampura Agucha Mine

• Key Responsibilities:
• Mapping of all development faces & plotting on level plans along with the Q & RMR of rock mass.
• Structural & Interval logging of all oriented boreholes to find the attitudes of major discontinuity through upcoming LOM infrastructures.
• Successfully trialed and established 2.4m long resin capsules along with secura type of bolts in underground.
• Introduced mechanical end anchored bulbed cable bolts with plates to increase the load bearing capacity and restrict higher deformation in squeezing type of ground conditions.
• Performed empirical stope stability analysis by plotting in Matthews’ Stability Graph and raise stability analysis by McCracken & Stacey Method to find the stable raise dimensions.
