    What causes the mine fire to start? Blasting? Earthworms careless with their cigarettes?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There are a few ways an underground coal mine fire can start. Some soft coals will ignite from blasting. Anthracite is much harder to ignite and the most common way this coal ignites is at the outcrop as a result of people dumping garbage in old stripping pits.

    Awesome video. Best excavator manufacturer on the market. Although there will be 20 people disagreeing with me on here.

    Great video... I have been missing seeing your videos, you don't seem to put them up as much nowadays. always look forward to seeing them. take care.

      I know, I had to cut back on how often I upload to rebuild by video reserve count.

    Great video ! The driver looks like Todd Hoffman :-)

      Hahaha!! I never thought that, but now that you mention it, your right!

    • @signal44
      @signal44 10 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Couldn't be Todd Hoffman , if it were the excavator would be broken , the ground would never be properly de-watered , the haul truck would be on it's side and the mine fire would have spread to the surrounding forest and that's just before lunch

    I had the privilege to operate the first hitachi 1100 in Western Australia back in the nineties. Loved it. Very nice to operate. But still hard to bet a Komatsu pc1000 for shear grunt and strength.

    NICE. I enjoyed watch'n this video of the New style hydraulic loader's. They wasn't even an thought back when I was work'n Construction job's, back in the day's of 0l'. he-he

    I was always told never water a coal fire, even underground. Itl just flash steam before it even gets close to the coal, we put them out usually with lump coal, just pile up faster then it can burn.

    I have a few requests for you if you're interested I would like you to do a documentary on the cat 320 D excavator and that caterpillar D11 T bulldozer

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      While there is a possibility I may film a new 11T, I will not film a 320D, sorry. I am a mining guy and this channel is strictly about mining-class equipment

    the biggest escavator i have operate was a hitachi 355 EX.very good machine.now is that true ...the bigger they are its more easy and fun to operate?

  • @lidsman2221
    @lidsman2221 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is that steam coming from the ground? If it is why is it steaming? Thanks for the vid. I always enjoy them.

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is actually steam from an underground mine fire. Plus the material he is digging is hot and dry from the fire, adding to more dust

    is that dust or steam coming off the the rocks?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Both. Steam from an underground mine fire that his mining through, and dust from hot and dry the material is from the heat of the fire

  • @jimmccartney5213

    Why was this not done 40 years ago in Centralia??

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They actually tried to exhume the fire at Centralia years ago but failed. By the time a trench was dug to surround the fire it had already spread beyond it.

    So what happens after he gets down to the mine fire?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      He'll mine right through it. There's only two ways to put out a coal mine fire- pump lots of water down boreholes or dig it out

  • @THETRASHKING1
    @THETRASHKING1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    r they cleaning up Centralia finally lol

  • @VideosByAl

    Is the dirt naturally that warn, or is heat from Blasting? Lots of Steam .

      PAmining Is this the Mine Fire that started in the 50's or so ?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      VideosByAl Yes. It's been burning for decades. Now the plan is to develop a job and mine through the fire and take out the coal.

    • @VideosByAl
      @VideosByAl 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      PAmining If you feel inclined, a Documentary on the Coal Mine Fire would be very interesting.

    • @PAmining

      VideosByAl Sure will do. Seems to be an interesting topic for many

    Nice. What are the handles in front of the driver, in the front window?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those levers connect to the foot pedals on the floor and control the machine's travel. The whole reason those levers are there is for operator preference, to either use the foot pedals to travel the machine, or the hand levers.

      PAmining I find personally for tracking forward 99.9% of the time I'll use my feet and tracking backwards it's about 50/50 depending on how fast I need to track. But it's waaay more comfortable to track with your feet so you can keep your hands on the sticks.

  • @ODWALLA123
    @ODWALLA123 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the smoke from the explosives used to breakup the rock face?

    • @byront37
      @byront37 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      No the smoke is from the burning coal below the rock. You may also be seeing the steam from the heat generated from the burning coal.

    • @ODWALLA123
      @ODWALLA123 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello,
      Why is coal burning underground?Combustion needs oxygen where is it coming from?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Peprita Heart There are a few ways an underground coal mine fire can start. Some soft coals will ignite from blasting. Anthracite is much harder to ignite and the most common way this coal ignites is at the outcrop as a result of people dumping and burning garbage in old stripping pits. The oxygen the fire receives is from all the old underground workings, slopes, air shafts, etc.

  • @allanegleston13

    what happens to the burning overburden once removed ?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +allan egleston The overburden gets hauled to the backfill site where it is used to fill in the old pit once the coal has been extracted

  • @beckjoshua24
    @beckjoshua24 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is this in centralia?

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. Centralia is not the only mine fire in Pennsylvania.

  • @jeremykruse3676
    @jeremykruse3676 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video.. but once down to the fire ,is it just smouldering ? & how much of the coal is still good or viable

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Coal fires move slowly and there is still millions of tons of good coal on the property. It is not a rapid burning, more like a smoldering. Even so, core temperatures are so hot on this job that blasting has to be done in small sections because the heat of the fire was essentially burning up the ammonium nitrate.

  • @christopherrobinson4266
    @christopherrobinson4266 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    how you guy's still working can't get a mining job in eastern kentucky cause the mining has been killed

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      +Christopher Robinson Different type of coal up here. This is a high-carbon coal used for water filtration, glass manufacturing, and steel production. Not your typical steam coal. Either which way, we need Trump in office to bring back coal!!
