Introduction

Synopsis

The UK’s industrial mining legacy is present across the Country. From flint mining in the South Downs to Tin mining in Cornwall, legacy hazards remain and must be considered by engineering professionals. However, the hazards posed by abandoned historical underground coal workings are potentially the most widespread. With major infrastructure projects proposed to cross swathes of the country previously impacted by mining, the assessment and remediation of mining hazards remain a high priority to practitioners; even after decades of remedial works already having been undertaken. This talk will cover aspects related to the assessment of mining risks and remediation.
