Overwork
Under workover means the clearing and re-securing of an old, already abandoned mine construction . The miner also speaks of overcoming, overpowering or overcoming. Mastering a pit fire is putting out or smothering the fire.
Basics
All mine workings must be cleaned and revised regularly, this work is called mine maintenance in mining. If this work is not carried out, over the years tailings , old pit wood that is no longer needed and also rubbish collect in the tunnels and routes . Sand, mud and lime collect in the water saigs , which causes the water saigs to silt up over time and can no longer drain the pit water , so that it runs into the track and forms small water holes there. The water in these water holes hinders the driving and the extraction and can become a putrid liquid in connection with organic substances, so that the underground weather in the affected stretches takes on a bad smell. Remnants of material mixed with mud and sand hinder and complicate the conveyance. Defective pit supports lose their load-bearing capacity and break if they are not replaced. As a result, a route can be partially or even entirely criminal .
The work-up process
As a result of the overhaul, the mine is revised to such an extent that it can be used again. In doing so, every obstacle that blocks the mine is removed. The tailings in the mine are completely removed and transported away, pit water is pumped out. In the case of a broken mine, it is secured again by dismantling after the excavated material has been removed. The water saigs are freed from the mud and sand and cleaned. To do this, the impurities are pulled out of the water with a scraper and piled up on the edge of the track. From there the piles of mud are shoveled into a hunt with a shovel and transported away. Old and no longer required material is loaded and transported away.
