Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by esteemed engineers William Griffith and Eli T. Conner, delves into the mining conditions beneath the populated landscape of Scranton, Pennsylvania. The study, commissioned by and in collaboration with the city council, school board, and various mining companies, assesses the risk to the city's inhabitants and infrastructure posed by the extensive coal mining operations below ground. The authors conducted thorough on-site investigations and historical research to understand the techniques and practices that have shaped the vast labyrinth of mine workings beneath the city. They have synthesized their findings and observations with meticulous detail and present clear conclusions about the potential threats to surface stability. The authors proceed to offer practical and innovative solutions to these problems, including engineered support systems for areas at greatest risk of collapse as well as long-term plans for mitigating the risks associated with future mining activities. This book provides an in-depth and authoritative account of the mining industry's impact on Scranton and serves as an essential reference for urban planners, engineers, and policymakers concerned with the safe and sustainable development of communities built upon undermined terrain.
