Abstract

The paper describes a proposal of rock burst control measures for excavation and mining of the area the Coalface No. 1 4064, which is located in the 1st mining block of the Mining Plant 1, locality Karviná. It is an area that has been left in place as a protective area for safety reasons due to the high risk of rock bursts, and it is bordered on both sides by old workings.
The aim of the proposal is to extract the retained area by using rock burst control measures to reduce this risk. As a measure, extensive disintegration of the rock massif in the overlying rocks of the seam by blasting works was chosen, both in driving mine workings and in mining of the coalface.
The article describes the methods and scope of implementation of active and passive rock burst control measures in standard situations and in the case of detection of an unfavourable stress level.
