Longwall top coal caving (LTCC) is a special type of longwall mining applicable to very thick seams (greater than 4.5m) where good quality coal is being left because "conventional" longwall equipment has not yet been designed to operate successfully beyond around 5m mining height.

Longwall Top Coal Caving. Longwall Topcoal Caving (TCC) is a method of extraction for underground mining of thick seams. It uses a longwall set-up and natural forces to aid in the winning of coal. With this method of extraction only a single longwall is developed at the foot of the seam.

Longwall Top Coal Caving was initially developed in the former Soviet Union and France in the 1950s and 1960s. It was then applied in the former Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, the former Czechoslovakia and Turkey . The ‘Soutirage’ method which was developed in France in the 1960s is considered as the original form of LTCC .

Get PriceThe mining method relies on the fracturing of the top coal by the front abutment pressure to achieve satisfactory caving into the rear conveyor. This paper develops a yield and caveability criterion based on in situ conditions in the top coal in advance of the mining face (yield) and behind the supports (caveability).
