· Longwall mining is a form of coal mining underground. In the longwall method, a long wall of coal is found and mined in a single slice between 50 cm and 6 m thick. Longwall panels (the coal seam being mined) tend to be between 3 km and 4 km long but can extend as far as 7.5 km. They are usually between 250 m and 400 m in width.

Longwall mining is a fast and mechanized method of coal mining where a large “wall” of coal is mined with a high-powered cutting system and the coal is transported out of the mine through a network of conveyors. The method is a “caving” method and the surface above the “gob” or mined areas typically subside.

Longwall mining is a highly productive underground coal mining technique. Longwall mining machines consist of multiple coal shearers mounted on a series of self-advancing hydraulic ceiling supports. The entire process is
The longwall-mining method is a continuous mining system that was developed for mining coal deposits uniform in thickness and slope or where the overburden pressures may crush support pillars or for improving productivity. This method relies on the complete extraction of the coal in a designated area referred to as a panel (of solid coal).
Definition of Longwall Mining. A high extraction method of mining along the face of a predefined block of coal, referred to as a panel, while allowing the immediate roof to collapse upon advancement. Panel Configuration. Panels generally range in size from 500 to 1,000 feet in width and lengths exceeding two miles.
