Making Underground Geological Structures "Visible": CCTEG Coal Science Research Institute Fortifies the Line for Safe and Efficient Coal Mining 2025-12-24 14:42:04.0
Recently, the "Advanced Transparent Geological Assurance System" developed by CCTEG Coal Science Research Institute has been successfully deployed at Shenmu Zhangjiamao Mining Co., Ltd. of Shaanxi Coal Group. This marks a new breakthrough for the Institute in the field of intelligent and transparent geological exploration for coal mines, significantly enhancing the level of transparent geological management. It not only provides robust technical support for mine disaster early warning and emergency response but also sets a new benchmark for the safe, efficient, and intelligent mining of similar mines.
Addressing the long-standing production safety challenges at Zhangjiamao Coal Mine, such as complex geological conditions, widely developed burnt rock, and large water inflows, the Institute's R&D team actively pursued green and low-carbon development principles. Aiming to empower the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries through technological innovation, they customized an "Advanced Transparent Geological Assurance System" solution. This system deeply integrates cutting-edge technologies including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and 3D visualization. By fully leveraging multi-source data from drilling, geophysical prospecting, monitoring, surveying, and mining geology, it constructs a high-precision 3D geological model. This achieves a comprehensive "transparent view" of the mine's geological conditions, forming a closed-loop management system characterized by "full data perception, fully dynamic modeling, completely visual information, and fully supported decision-making."
In practical application, the system demonstrates significant advantages in disaster prevention and control, safety management, mining navigation, and operational optimization.
Significantly Enhanced Disaster Prevention Capability: The system integrates monitoring and early warning functions for various disasters like water inrush, gas, and fires. By constructing a "point-area-mine" hierarchical warning model, it enables multi-factor comprehensive analysis and visual risk presentation. This has improved mine disaster warning accuracy by 30% and emergency response efficiency by 40%, greatly enhancing the proactivity and precision of disaster prevention.
Comprehensive Upgrade in Safety Management and Decision-Making: Through real-time monitoring and analysis of parameters like the underground environment, gases, and temperature, the system establishes a visual control system covering hydrology, gas, and fire prevention. Relying on data linkage and model simulation, it provides scientific decision support for disaster prevention, engineering layout, and emergency response, shifting safety management from post-incident handling to preemptive warning.
Precision Navigation for the Mining Process: Utilizing 3D geological transparency technology, the system enables intuitive visualization of geological structures and coal seam distribution, along with dynamic calculation of coal reserves. It provides precise "geological navigation" for intelligent roadway development and coal face mining, helping optimize panel layout and mining techniques. This significantly reduces production risks caused by geological uncertainty and improves resource recovery rates.
Overall Optimization of Production Operations: The deep integration of the transparent geological model with the intelligent management platform achieves efficient coordination between geological information and production activities. It assists the mine in achieving rapid development, intelligent mining, and intensive production, laying a solid technical foundation for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and sustainable development of the coal mine while ensuring safety.
CCTEG Coal Science Research Institute will continue to deeply implement the parent group's "1245" overall development strategy. It will focus on the iterative upgrading of mine safety technology, accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces in coal technology, and actively improve a technological innovation system covering the entire chain from geological exploration and intelligent mining to safety prevention and control. The Institute aims to provide coal mining enterprises with full lifecycle services, from transparent geological system construction to intelligent operation management, helping China's coal industry reach new heights in high-quality development.
