Abstract
The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is a government-based coal mining company jointly owned by the Telangana Government and Government of India. The Singareni coal reserves stretch over an area of 350 km on Pranahita—Godavari Valley of Telangana with a proven geological reserve aggregating to whopping 8791 million tonnes of coal. SCCL is currently operating 29 underground mines and 17 opencast mines in four districts of Telangana. Out of 17 open cast mines, Indaram Khani Open Cast Project (IKOCP) is one of the open cast mine operating by SCCL. Huge quantity of waste/debris (Sandstone boulders, clay and some other rock lumps) is also generated during mining of coal. The SCCL is proposed to construct a 120 m high IKOCP dumping yard in 1.2 km × 1.0 km of Srirampur Region, near IKOCP, Telangana. Nine bore holes were drilled up to a depth of 7 m at different locations in the proposed dumping yard area. The standard penetration test (SPT) was also carried out during subsoil investigation. The site was investigated and the slope stability analysis of the proposed dumping yard under different conditions was carried out by using GEO 5 software. The present study is intended to highlight the outcome of the study along with suitable design and construction methodology of 120 m high dumping yard based on the field and laboratory investigations.
