Design Engineering to Control Geological Environmental Problems of Limestone Mine in Fengshan, Guangxi

Abstract:

Geo-environmental treatment projects had not been implemented in many old mines of China. Those mines environment has got increasingly deteriorated. So the government provides specialized policies and funding to solve the environmental problems of those mines. Based on the characteristics of the geological environmental treatment projects of old mines, the paper puts forward the principle and index of the treatment projects design and applies in the design of Fengshan limestone mine, Guangxi. It indicated that: (1)The geological environment problems are complex and diverse, and the treatment projects involve a multi-disciplinary cross which are environmental geology, ecology geology, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering and landscape works. It needs to consider the follow key indicators: Geo-environment problems, Feasibility, Benefit, and social demand. (2) the limestone mine in FengShan is high 134m, and there had happened a collapse which had 2.1×10⁴ m³, and killed 6 people. The geo-environment problems include rockfall, rock collapse, land and vegetation destruction, and landscape damage. The mine local in the Leye-Fengshan International Geological Park in Guangxi, the requests for travel security and sight-viewing environment are extremely high. Therefore, drainage, anchoring, rockfalls platforms and rock carvings would be implemented for the purpose of transforming the mine into a sight spot in the park.(3) The treatment projects eliminate the geo-hazard and build the world-class carving attractions reflect the benefit of the project management from the environment, economy and society aspects.
