An "Insulating" Shotcrete for Heat Abatement in Deep Mines - Objective
  • Published Date:
    1/1/1994
Filetype[PDF - 109.32 KB]


Details:
  • Description:
    Develop and demonstrate a lightweight material that has low thermal conductivity and that would be suitable for placement using shotcrete methods. This material could be applied in deep, hot mines where mine drifts must be insulated. Its use would decrease mine refrigeration needs and reduce energy costs.
