3D laser scanning is a unique technology used for the description and subsequent modeling of real
shape of spatially complex underground mining environment. Groundbreaking was its application in
the pilot deployment of the Room and Pillar method at the CSM mine, where this method was used
for the first time within the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, also known to have one of the most difficult
mining and geomechanical conditions in the world. Very difficult mining conditions at depth over 800
m warranted searching for complex geotechnical tool or method that would capture all changes
without distortion. Despite some shortcomings, 3D laser scanning was selected, although there is still
no suitable device for dusty and humid mining environment. During the pillar development phase,
comprehensive geotechnical monitoring was undertaken including the frequent scanning of pillar
movement using 3D laser scanning technology. Based on repeated time-separated measurements,
spatio-temporal analyses of deformation changes during ongoing mining were carried out. These
analyses captured dynamic changes in coal rib, roof and floor movements of designated roadways
while developing the pillar panel. In addition, time dependent long term post-mining measurements
quantified additional strata movements within the panel enabling assessment of the long term pillar
and mine roadway stability. The time-lapse scanning indicated variable pillar rib movement with
maximum measured displacements of 60 cm. The scans indicated that in most cases, the bottom of the
seam displaced more than the top of the rib side due to low floor strength causing large floor heave of
up to 100 cm. During the 3-year monitoring, more than 2 billion spatial points were captured that can
be used for further analysis.
