North Goonyella 1998 LW 3Sth Heating. Judgement of Major Needs. “7. Location of Gas Chromatograph Environmental Monitoring System – Relocate” Deja Vu all over again

Just to show that the insane location of the Control Room, Gas Chromatograph and Gas Monitoring System has been officially recognized by North Goonyella Management way back in 1998.

Following a heating in 3 South Longwall in December 1997, the Mine conducted a detailed analysis which is in the link below. Unfortunately it is not a complete timeline document

The pages below are entitled Judgement of Needs

On page 1 point 7 of 22

Location of Gas Chromatograph Environmental Monitoring System – Relocate

Page 2 B 7

Location of Gas Chromatograph Environmental Monitoring System – Relocate.

The result was nothing, zip, nada.

The Control Room and Gas Monitoring equipment stayed in exactly the same place in the same building.

You cannot help those who cannot help themselves

For those interested the comments about detection of spontaneous combustion gases, tube bundle systems, seals, pressure balancing in the tables and comments in the 4 pages of Tables are Dejah Vu all over again 20 years later.
