This project follows on from project GAP 708, The Design and Development of an Effective Support System for Tabular Stopes in Gold and Platinum Mines. The primary output of this project is to develop and surface test an effective roof support system and to do a risk assessment of the system. Mines with tabular ore bodies will use the roof support system to reduce fatalities and injuries in the face area of tabular stopes.
