ACARP was pleased to support Emeritus Professor Jim Galvin in the writing and publication of this important text.

This publication provides a comprehensive coverage of ground engineering principles within a risk management framework.

Prior to this publication those seeking to design ground support for underground coal had to rely on interpreting textbooks largely directed to the underground metalliferous industry. This text specifically addresses those challenges faced by the underground coal industry and as such it is a world first.

As befits such a critical area, the text was carefully peer reviewed by luminaries such as Emeritus Professor Ted Brown AC, and Emeritus Professor Horst Wagner and Dr Winton Gale.

Written by an expert in underground coal mining and risk management, this book will help students and practitioners gain a deep understanding of the basic principles behind designing and conducting mining operations that are safe, efficient, and economically viable.
