and material through shafts, transport of material, wire, power for drilling, cutting and loading of coal
on the faces. Pumping operations are also essential to deal with accumulation of water in
underground workings. A mining engineer should be aware of the types of machineries available for
these operations, their principles of operations and suitability of these equipments under different
conditions, so that they can supervise the selection, installation and day-to-day operation and
elementary maintenance of these equipments.
OBJECTIVES:
After undergoing the course of study the student shall be able to

1. Supervise the transportation of coal/mineral by different types of rope haulages.
2. Provide and maintain the safety devices to be provided on rope haulages.
3. Supervise the operation of locomotive haulages and different types of conveyers for
transportation of mineral/material.
4. Supervise the operation of coal cutting machines and power loaders on the coal faces.
5. Supervise the installation and operation of water pumps for dealing with water in underground
mines.
