ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am greatly indebted to Dr. U. K. Dey (H. O. D. Mining Engg.)
who encouraged me to take practical training at Patherdih Colliery
(BCCL) in Patherdih. He give me precise knowledge about Mining
methods which I found very useful in my training period in Coal Mines.
I am also very grateful to Mr.A.K.Sinha(Colliery Manager),
Mr. A. K. Jha (Project officer) & Mr. B.K.Sinha(ACM) for their

LOCATION:Patherdih Colliery is situated in the eastern margin of Jharia coalfield.
Patherdih railway station on Dhanbad Patherdih section of eastern
railway is just adjacent to the colliery office.
Patherdih covers an area of 244.34 hectare. It is 16 km away from
Dhanbad and 275 km from Kolkata. It is situated between longitude 86
17 17 E and 86 24 54E and latitude 23 4010 N and 23 4042 N.
BOUNDARY:North : - Patherdih Bazar railway station
South : - Sudamdih shaft and washery
East :- Chasnalla Colliery
West :- Chandan O/C project , Bhowrah
ACCESSIBILITY:
8/3/2019 Vt Report Ashish
5/15
It is accessible by road as Dhanbad Sindri Road passes through
very near to the office. It is also accessible by Railway through
Patherdih bazaar railway station.
MANGEMENT:The Management of this colliery is very promising and efficient .
They take good care of workers and other employees. Moreover
there is good relationship between them.
The management runs as follows:-
Owner : B.C.C.L.
Head office: Koyla Nagar (Dhanbad)
Personal Department
Mining Department
Supervisory Department
Patherdih colliery was planned to produce 1.5 lakh tons of coal per
annum .There are presently one working unit at Patherdih Colliery.
(i) VI seam Incline - Depillaring
Again it is proposed to reopen an additional 7 seam incline. As the coal
produced of same grade i.e. H.H. grade, it is transported to speed
functions.
POWER:
8/3/2019 Vt Report Ashish
6/15
Electricity is the source of power . It is purchased from Jharkhand
State Electricity Board which purchases from DVC shift hours.
SHIFT HOURS:1st shift - 8 AM to 4 PM
2nd Shift - 4 PM to 12 AM
3rd Shift - 12 AM to 8 AM
GEOLOGY:
The Jharia Coalfield is most productive and important of the Indian
Coalfields . The field is roughly sickle shaped . The larger area being
38 km . NW to SE and the shorter being 19 km . EW to NS.
The Patherdih Colliery lies on the dip side of the Bhulan
Bararee thrust. Due to thrust the gradient of the seams are about
S14W. There is no major geological distribution in any of the seam
presently being worked. One dyke is in the western part of the property
ranging in thickness from 30 cm to 1 m., which runs in the SW at an angle
of S26W. The dyke has been crossed in all seams to continue development
beyond dyke; however no inflammable gas has been detected.
In Patherdih Colliery, there seams VI,VII and VIIIA seam is
shale. All the seams are highly inclined.

ACCESS AND PROGRESS:
As the seam is outer cropping in the southern part of the property ,it is
approached by an incline.
An incline is the stopping roadway driven from the surface to the seam
through the alluvium and thus overlying seam.The main haulage of VI
seam is driven in apparent dip having gradient 1 in 1.8.
In addition to haulage roadway ,travelling roadway is also driven just by the
side of old machine. This roadway is equipped with ventilating fan also.
DEPILLARING:The method of working is Board and Pillar with Hydraulic stowing.At
present the depillaring operation is carried in the Panel P2 of VI seam
whereas Panel P1 has already been depillared and stowed.The mine is
developed up to 21thlevel and proposed to be extended beyond it.
Size of gallery = 4.2 m * 3m

CONCLUSION
At last I want to conclude my training report and I thanks once again to
all the officials and staffs of My College,Patherdih Colliery and B.C.C.L
from depth of my heart for providing me immense support to complete
my training report.I am also thankful to my friends you were always
present to extend their support during the completion of my project.This
training period was really a memoriable experience for me as this was my
first visit to any underground mines in my life and I thoroughly enjoyed
the experience as I got lots of things to learn as Mining is incomplete
without practicals.
