Abstract

Purpose. Analysis of production experience, scientific and technical developments and assessment of the prospects for the application and development of technologies for the construction of vertical shafts in Ukraine in the context of the need to restore the coal mining industry to preserve the energy independence of the state. Methodology. The methods of analysis of the accumulated production experience of shaft sinking in Ukraine, in the post-Soviet space and in the leading mining countries, as well as scientific and technical literature were used. Results. The classification of technologies and methods of vertical shaft sinking is considered and supplemented, technological schemes and equipment used and promising for Ukraine for the construction of shafts by conventional and special methods are analyzed, the production experience of the Donetskshakhtoprokhodka and Spetsshakhtobureniie trusts is generalized from the point of view of applicability in the construction of shafts of block No. 12 of PJSC Shakhtopravlenie Pokrovskoe”. The possibility of using a modified parallel technological scheme of shaft sinking has been substantiated. The prospects of mechanized shaft sinking in Ukraine – by drilling and with the use of shaft-sinking machines – are assessed. The characteristics of the conditions for the construction and operation of shaft lining, the final element of the shaft, as a structure and functional complex are given. Variants of combined lining, including those with the use of fiber-reinforced concrete, are considered. Scientific novelty. The results of the analysis of technological schemes and methods of vertical shafts sinking, accumulated production experience and scientific and technical developments are generalized, trends and prospects for the development of technologies are considered. Practical value. The analysis of technological schemes and methods of sinking vertical shafts was carried out on the basis of domestic and foreign production experience. Key words: vertical shaft, sinking technology, shaft sinking flow chart, drilling and blasting operations, shafts drilling, shaft-sinking machine.
