Subsidence & Collapse Geohazards

Coal Mining | Metalliferous Mining | Chalk Mining | Salt Mining |  Limestone Mining | Carbonate Dissolution | Evaporite Dissolution | Fault Reactivation | Collapsible Soils | Other Problematic Soils |

 

Coal Mining - Hazards associated with underground and open cast coal extraction.

 

Metaliferous Mining - Hazards associated with underground metal ore extraction.

 

Chalk Mining - Hazards associated with underground chalk extraction.

 

Limestone Mining - Hazards associated with underground limestone extraction.

 

Salt Mining - Hazards associated with underground Evaporite mineral extraction

 

Carbonate Dissolution - Hazards associated with the dissolution of carbonates or Karstic Hazards

 

Evaporite Dissolution - Hazards associated with the dissolution of Evaporite minerals.

 

Fault Reactivation - Faults located in areas prone to mining subsidence are susceptible to reactivation.

 

Collapsible Soils - Hazards associated with problematic soils which are prone to failure through collapse of their internal structure.

 

Other Problematic Soils - Hazards associated with soils which are prone to shrinking, swelling, liquefaction, running or which exhibit compressible behaviour.
