Solution:
It is suggested to use extraction and discharge by source and section in to drivage end
to extract gas comprehensively (refer to Fig.1), apply underground hydraulic fracture
system to fracture the coal seam once the gas extraction hole formed, with the purpose
to increase the permeability of coal seam, which provide sufficient time for rapid
drivage and form fracture rapid drivage mode. 114 extraction holes have been
constructed after the fracture, the total length of extraction holes is about 7810m, and
the gas extraction output during this period is 720,000m3, the total length of drivage is
over 400m and inspected for 142 times, the over standard rate is 3.2%, and the
average monthly progress is around 40m.Compared with the measures of advance
drainage borehole for the roadway, the drivage speed improved 2.26 times.
The gas extraction boreholes are drilled in the upper channel and down channel of
roadway in 2115 working face (refer to Fig.2, both of the upper channel and down
channel of roadway shall be 10m), the coal seam is fractured by hydraulic fracture
system (refer to Fig.3), and succeeded for 6 times. (...) Fig. 1 Hydraulic Fracture Extraction System for Drivage Working Face

Article 27:
On two-way roadways, when forward visibility is insufficient (as it can occur in a turn or at a slope top), overtaking is forbidden except if this manoeuvre doesn't overlap the left hand side of the roadway, beyond a continuous line, or if overtaking a two-wheel vehicle doesn't lap over the half left hand part of the roadway.
(...) Furthermore, he must give way to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction on the roadway he is about to leave, the pedestrians already passing as well as the cycles, the rickshaws and motorcycles moving on the reserved lanes that cross the roadway which he is entering.
(...) When it can be placed only on the roadway, the provisions determined here above in (a) and (b) must be respected.

Failure to detect methane layers
Incorrect monitoring locations.
Lack of suitable monitoring equipment.

Site specific monitoring programme.
Suitable monitoring probes, especially for high roadway sections.
Training. Failure to prevent methane layering
Ventilation quantities too low.
Unreliable ventilation.
Ventilation planning.
Locally enhanced roof ventilation. (...) The mined sections comprise an extensive chequer-board of roadways and pillars, all
of which cannot be effectively ventilated due to the massive amounts of air required and the difficulty
of distributing it evenly. (...) Some emitted
gas at low flow rates, which could form extensive methane layers, and would remain undetected unless
probed close to roof level–difficult in the high roadways.
Solutions: Gas control where partial extraction mining methods are practised can be assisted by in-seam,
predrainage; postdrainage is rarely required as roof and floor coal-bearing strata are not significantly
disturbed.

Security aspects in the construction and maintenance of infrastructures of the inland transport sector
Richard Harris Director Intelligent Transport Systems Faber Maunsell - AECOM
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Security Principles
− Deterrence – Keep the bad guys out; make it easier for them to go elsewhere
− Detection – If they do get in, make sure you know about it
− Assessment – Once something happens, know what is unfolding
− Response – Be able respond appropriately and manage the result
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Major events
− March 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack
− July 1995 Paris subway bombing
− February 2004 Moscow subway bombing
− March 2004 Madrid train system bombings
− July 2005 London underground and bus bombings
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Infrastructure Security Challenges
− Transportation systems, by their nature, invite public access
− Roadways and rail systems are spread across the landscape
− Distances can make response times long
− Information networks (CCTV, alarm reporting) can be expensive because of distances
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Vulnerable Points
− Rail Stations and Railways − Open to public access − Busy/Crowded − Small explosive device can have big impact − Difficult to monitor for terrorist activity − Difficult to screen passengers
− Can have economic impact with loss of public confidence
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Vulnerable Points
− Roadways, Bridges and Tunnels − Open to public access − Traffic gridlock can present an inviting target − Maintenance points give access to critical areas − Vehicle borne explosives are difficult to detect
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Best Practices
− Rail Stations − Work with police and emergency response staff to design
around security concept of operations − Use pedestrian modeling to eliminate choke points in
passenger flow − Use CCTV to monitor interior and exterior − Use intrusion alarm on all entries to non-public spaces − Place police or emergency response assets and
accommodations at key points
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Best Practices
− Roadways, Bridges and Tunnels − Work with police and emergency response staff to design
around security concept of operations − Use CCTV to monitor traffic flows and unusual behavior − Use intrusion alarm on all entries to non-public spaces − Incorporate automatic toll collection equipment into the
security system − Use lighting to deter criminal activity
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Best Practices
− Use technology
− Share technology
− Collect data and share information
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Best Practices
− Communications is Imperative − Information is critical − Communication of alarms, unusual events or suspicious
activity must be instant − Communications in the management of event response
saves lives and minimizes damage − Communication Systems must be part of any design
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Best Practices
− Communications is a Vulnerability − Information must be kept close − Design drawings are a terrorists best asset − Safeguarding security designs may require different
procurement methods in the public sector − Procedures for handling security sensitive information
before, during and after design and construction are a must
UNECE: Transport Security in the Pan-European Context
Ministerial Conference on International Transport Security
− Sharing best practice
− Promoting international cooperation R&D, technology, detecting and monitoring
− Encourage government cooperation with stakeholders
− Encourage creation of international working group

Case study: Achieving planned coal production from a gassy, retreat longwall with severe strata
stress and a spontaneous combustion prone coal seam – United Kingdom
Initial conditions: 980 m working depth, 50 m3/t specific emissions from a 2 m high retreat longwall
required to produce 1 Mtpa, high spontaneous combustion risk coal, ultra-low permeability coal,
severe horizontal stresses at the coalface and floor heave in the longwall access roadways―one intake
and one return.
Gas control problems: Predrainage was not feasible due to the low permeability of the coal, and cross-
measure boreholes angled above the longwall front of the face were disrupted by the high stresses;
hence, gas capture and purity was too low. (...) The optimum drilling pattern was found to be a series of up-holes, at right angles to the
longwall roadway, angled upwards at 55o to the seam plane, and 7.5 m apart.

With engineers and roadway repair crews, Thai blue helmets help keep South Sudan moving

Blue helmets from Thailand working with the UN Mission in South Sudan ( UNMISS ) are not only doing their bit to repair and rehabilitate critical infrastructure but are also helping support the mission’s COVID-19 response and training local communities about growing their own food.
(...) Kaisin Sasunee, the current Contingent Commander of Thai HMEC, said that while he was very proud of his unit’s work on roadway maintenance and repair, he was equally proud of HMEC’s agricultural demonstration plots at the Yei Checkpoint Juba, part of an effort to teach residents of the three surrounding communities how to grow food and become more self-sufficient.
