Application of TEM and HDRM in hydrogeophysical surveys in Meisibulake coal mine.

Water disaster is one of the major disasters threatening the safety production of coal mine, which is rank only second to gas disaster. And Meisbluke Coal Mine is seriously affected by water disasters. In order to find out the scope and location of water-bearing areas in Meisbluke Coal Mine. The comprehensive geophysical exploration method combining transient electromagnetic method (TEM) and high-density resistivity method (HDRM) is used to carry out this research. Firstly, the measuring area is determined and the relevant measuring points are arranged, and 73 TEM survey lines and 10 HDRM survey lines were arranged according to the requirements. Then, the principle, data processing method and main parameters of TEM and HDRM are introduced. The TEM detection results show that the thickness of Quaternary inferred by TEM is consistent with the geological conditions revealed by boreholes, and the thickness is about 50–80 m. And the water enrichment of the bedrock is obviously recharged by the Quaternary aquifer. Besides, the water-enriched areas in each elevation are marked and the water inrush runoff channel is deduced based on the 3D scenario inverted by TEM. And the detection results of the water-bearing areas by the two methods are in good agreement with each other, which can confirm and complement each other, and the interpretation of the data is scientific and reasonable with high reliability. Besides, the detection depth of HDRM is larger than that of TEM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
