Post-Mining Hazard Evaluation and Mapping in France

Post-mining.jpg
Knowledge of hazards associated with mining works has largely been developed in recent years in metropolitan France. The research carried out to apprehend risks on the surface influenced by old mining operations is realised through a "hazard study", for the vast majority of the dreaded phenomena which can occur.

In the framework of the risk management that these old mining works can generate, on the one hand, and the sustainable development of these territories, on the other hand, the study of the hazards, and associated maps, constitutes an essential step.

This handbook provides information on post-mining phenomena, the feedback that has been established and indications on the parameters to be considered to evaluate and map the hazard.
