Case Study
Mine Subsidence Potential Evaluation For Cogeneration Plant Site
PROJECT PROFILE The owner/developer of an 85-MW coal-waste-fired electric cogeneration plant wanted to construct the new facil- ity immediately adjacent to the coal- waste source in order to minimize han- dling costs. Two coal seams beneath the site had been recently mined by the longwall method, and there was a po- tential for continued ground movement at the surface. D’Appolonia conducted subsurface explorations to characteriz
