Mine Infrastructure
• The public utility-commercial-industrial complex
of both basic external and internal installations and
building necessary for all objective functions
• Comprises of:
1. Access roads and railways
2. Drinking water facility vis-à-vis mining village
population
3. Housing and other living quarters
4. Electrical power and energy for domestic use
5. Telecommunications
6. Mineral Handling Plants
7. Workshops
8. Schools, training centres etc.
9. Market places
10. Recreational facilities and places of prayer
Infrastructure Planning
• Must make maximum use of the existing infrastructure facilities
and natural features like slope, forest cover, water bodies etc.
• Planning Sequence:
Developing Link on priority basis to

existing infrastructure
Laying access links to mine buildings and
development sites
Development of mine area housing considering
the manpower requirements
Development of communication and other
facilities
Development of public utilities like schools,
community centre, recreational facilities etc.
Project Description

• Dip angles – 20 – 60
• Seam Thickness – 1.1 to 45.23 m
• Mineable Reserves – 975 Mt

• Location:
• South central part of Korba Coalfield
• Area – 20.37 sq.km
• Communication:
• Nearest Railway station – 10 Km
• Nearest road branch line of railway – 16 Km
• Railway siding has been extended upto OCP
• Transport of coal – CHP through rail
• Land Use:
About 26% of the total area is used for infrastructure

• Method of Mining:
• Shovel – Dumper Combination
• Manpower – 3200
• Equipment Configuration:
S.No Equipment Capacity Number
1. Electric Rope Shovel 42 m3 5

Equipment
Tire Shop Lube Shop
Cleaning Facility
 Warehouse
• Must reflect the size and quantity of the mobile equipment
• Number of Stalls:
• Haulage trucks: 1 repair stall for 7 units
• Shovels: 1 repair stall for 5 units
• Support Equipment: 1 repair stall for 15 units
• Size of Stalls:
• Determined by the length, width and height of the largest unit
• Haulage truck (240 T): 13.7m wide, 19.8 m long
• Shovel (42 m3): 13m wide, 32m long, 20m high
 Tire Shop
• 1 repair stall for 30 haulage trucks
• Facilities: Compressed Air system, tire press, storage racks
 Lube Shop
• 1 for haulage trucks and 1 for support equipment
• Facilities: Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, coolant etc.
2. Railway Siding
• One empty receiving line of full length
• One after load line of full length
• One engine escape line
• Loading line with arrangements of mechanical loading and in-motion

weighment of wagons
Transportation:
• Surface to CHP – Conveyor belt
• CHP to railway sidings - Bunker

3. Coal Handling Plant
• Factors influencing the design of CHP:
1. Size of the coal

2. Picking/ deshaling required to maintain quality consistency
3. Mode of despatch:
a) Belt conveyor
b) Aerial ropeway
c) Road transport
d) Combination of any two of above
e) Railroad
f) Customer’s own merry-go-round (MGR) system
g) Combination of e and f
h) Combination of any three or four of the above
• Coal Handling Plant of 30.0 Mtpa capacity has been envisaged for the
Project.
4.Power Supply Arrangement
1. Estimation of Maximum Demand (Ghosh, M.K. (1997))
• Mine deploying shovels and Draglines: 2.5 to 3 MVA per million tonne of coal
• Mine deploying shovels of coal production: 1.5 to 2 MVA per million tonne
2. Transformer supplying Shovel
Sample Calculation:
• Capacity = 6.3 m3 with 600 KW M-G set

• Demand = 600/0.8 ≅ 720 KVA ( Assuming Power Factor = 0.8)
• Peak Load on transformer = 1440 KVA ( Assuming 200% of motor load)
• Transformer rating = 1100 KVA ( Assuming Demand Factor = 0.7)
3. Estimation of Energy Consumption ( Kumar and Ramsubban,1989 )
• Dragline-shovel-drill (large surface mines): 5-7 KWh per tonne of coal

• Shovel-drill (small to medium mine): 4-6 KWh per tonne of coal
• 0.6-1.5 kWh per m3 O/B removal
• OB sub-station:
• Receives power at 33 kV from the main substation
• Installed capacity: 37 MVA
• Supplies power to HEMM
• Coal sub-station:
• Receives power at 33 kV from the main substation
• Installed capacity: 27 MVA
• Supplies power to HEMM, CHP, workshops etc.

5. Buildings
• Building Design Considerations:
Internal Influences:
• Manpower
• Life of the mine
• Cost Target to be set
• Phasing of completion
External Influences:
• Building Regulation Approval
• Compliance with statutory requirements under Mine and
Quarries Act
• External Environmental pressures
Residential buildings:
3200 number of houses
Community buildings:
Dispensary, Primary and secondary schools, officer’s and staff rest
houses, clubs, post office, shopping centre, community centre
Offices:
Buildings
GM office, Administrative office, Project office and Site office
Shovel Erection Yard:

Consists of RCC & WBM pavement, Sheds for office, stores etc.
Magazine
Statutory buildings:
Canteen, first-aid centre, rest shelters, training centre etc.
6. Water Requirement
As per IS 1172:1993 (Reaffirmed 2007) :
S.No Location Litres per

head
1. Residences 135
2. Offices 45
3. Hospital (beds exceeding 100) 450
4. Schools 45
Total estimated water requirement
• Average demand - 18255 m3 /day

• Peak demand - 21918 m3 /day
Sources
• Hasdeo & Ahiran rivers

• Kholar Nalla
Conclusion
• Facility location selection will be constrained by

major mine parameters, like safety, structure,
maintenance, access and future planning for other
industries
• Using them successfully in mining engineering will

add strength to mine planning.
• One can use the different optimization techniques on

the basis of existing mine facilities.
