subhorizontal access cutting across the marble layer Explanation: galleria tecnica mineraria at http://www.sapere.it/ Le gallerie che si sviluppano su uno dei piani di livello nei quali è suddivisa la miniera, vengono dette di livello; quelle di accesso dall'estremo, con imbocco sul fianco di un monte, si chiamano: di ribasso, se sono situate più in basso delle altre gallerie; in traverso banco , se tagliano ortogonalmente la direzione degli strati; in direzione o in allungamento se ne seguono la direzione. Horizontal openings: drifts http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/384099/mining/8127... All horizontal or subhorizontal development openings made in a mine have the generic name of drift. These are simply tunnels made in the rock, with a size and shape depending on their use—for example, haulage, ventilation, or exploration. A drift running parallel to the ore body and lying in the footwall is called a footwall drift, and drifts driven from the footwall across the ore body are called crosscuts . |
