For thinner interburden distances, MSHA safety regulations require draining of overlying mine workings prior to undermining. REI takes advantage of directional drilling from underground setup locations to install gravity drain boreholes, utilizing the mine’s existing infrastructure as well as preventing the need for surface drilling permits and developments. REI uses pressure tested casing and contained wellheads, including blowout preventers, to fully control water flows at all times.
