CONSOL Energy to Add Fifth Longwall Machine at Pennsylvania Mining
Nov 03, 2021CONSOL employs longwall mining methods, which dig out a block, or panel, of coal about 1,000 feet wide and 2 miles long. The company, since it has run five longwall machines in the past, already has the equipment on hand. That means it will only have to refurbish the machine for its new use instead of buying a new one outright.

Timing and Duration of Subsidence Due to Longwall Mining
The mining of a large rectangular block of coal by the longwall method results in the development of a trough- shaped depression of the surface above the extracted area. The process of subsidence is dynamic, as surface move- ment begins with undermining and continues until some maximum displacement has occurred; the magnitude of the

Glossary of coal mining terminology
Bituminous coal is a type of coal found in the most coalfields. It is laid down in seams and varies in constituency and quality. It was used to produce town gas or coke, raise steam in industrial boilers or locomotives, to fuel power stations or for domestic heating. Blackdamp Blackdamp is the name given to a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Longwall mining
Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.

Citizens Against Longwall Mining
May 23, 2022The idea of longwall mining with "planned subsidence" was touted as the better way to mine coal that was more profitable and required fewer miners to be employed. It was argued that after all, the subsidence damage occurs almost immediately, and the coal company can fix the damage in a timely manner.
