Specific knowledge is required to achieve the Performance Criteria of this unit, particularly for its application in the various circumstances in which this unit may be used. This includes knowledge of the following, as required to implement the inrush management plan: legislative and site requirements for mining structures, including mine plans, ventilation, gas monitoring, strata support and safety management plans mine planning and design the systems of mining including tunnels, drifts, stone drivage, shaft sinking, pillar extraction, partial extraction, punch mining and fault drivage stress analysis including mining induced stress and topography sedimentology subsistence, water bearing strata, permeability of seam and strata, hydrology, hydrogeology, physical property testing, caving characteristics, outburst, over and underlying strata systems of work, including bord and pillar, place changing, longwall, highwall, auger mining, pillar extraction, partial extraction and punch mining mining structure failure modes mining and general engineering principles relevant to the behaviour of excavations in rock and coal audit methodologies site document control requirements mine mapping of inrush zones, related geology and features the impact of differing geological features and conditions on inrush zones, including faults, dykes, intrusions and strata deformities fixed monitoring systems types, uses/limitations, design criteria, specifications and design processes portable monitoring equipment, types, uses/limitations the use of simulation techniques and applications relevant to inrush use of computer-based systems for real time monitoring mine inrush management plan development requirements and processes processes and techniques for determining alarms and trigger points/levels audit and review processes and techniques emergency response and evacuation procedures the effects of coal seam characteristics on inrush methods of control of inrush types of inrush control zones risk management procedures applicable mine rescue procedures roles and responsibilities in accordance with inrush management plan |
