Integrated Compressed Air Foam Systems for Fixed Piping Networks ICAF Case Study Series: Protection of Underground Mining Diesel Fuel Storage Doc. FM-072M-0-241 A May 2006Case Study Series – Underground Mining ICAF ® Compressed Air Foam Systems FM-072M-0-241 A Overview Underground shaft mines using diesel-powered equipment will often use underground diesel storage areas to facilitate refueling operations of the equipment. Adit-type mines in the Western United- States initially locate the refueling facility at the surface and as the active mining workings progress from the adit portal(s), the refueling is moved underground.
