The article presents practical problems related to mines liquidation. This process is the last stage of mining activity. As a result the reduce of negative environmental impact should be obtained. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the complexity of this investment process. The last mentioned is not limited to environmental problems and also applies to the economic and legal issues. There is no doubt that the activity of extracting minerals from deposits is a source of a whole series of adverse environmental ...

The paper presents an innovative strain and temperature measurement method using the fibre Bragg grating (FBG) technology to monitor the design and operating safety of selected underground mining machinery and equipment. The system is based on the fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors or sensors using the optical time domain reflectometry (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) technology. The essence of the solution is to introduce FBG sensors into the structure to make them act as its ?nervous system?. Compared to class...

The main purpose of the construction of flood protection measure is to protect the urban area. Flood strategy should cover the entire river basin area and promote the coordinated development and management of actions regarding water, land and related resources. Structural measures (defence structures) will remain important elements and should primarily focus on the protection of human health and safety, and valuable goods and property. Intensive rainfall and spring?s snow melting occurrence leads to floods almost ...

Opinions on the potential uses of risk analysis and environmental impact assessment (EIA) are different. Although many experts, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers agree that risk analysis is a valuable tool to inform decisions, they disagree about the extent to which risk estimates may be biased and should be allowed to influence public policies to protect health and the environment and to be used within the EIA process. The quality and value of any risk analysis depends on the adequacy of the data and t...
