jeromeowen Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In the 1950s, a new underground mining method appeared in Europe. It is called a ‘longwall mining’ method that applies laser technology. Today, it is widely used by coal mining companies in the world. From this moment the coal exploration, extraction and delivery to the market have become secure, effective, clean and not harmful for the environment. Nowadays the use of computers, lasers, satellites and other technologies has become a usual thing in coal mining industry and many coal mining organizations, such as Lincenergy, apply all these advances in their business. From now on the coal mining extraction has become absolutely safe for people thanks to high-tech technologies and effective human resources management work.
