This invention relates to the field of
coal mining technology, specifically to a method for large-area gas control. The method comprises the following steps: delineating the boundary of the large-area gas
control zone; using a TBM (Tube Milling
Machine) to excavate a boundary roadway starting from the center of the boundary of the large-area gas
control zone; excavating a connecting roadway within the area enclosed by the boundary roadway; drilling a through borehole within the
coal seam area enclosed by the connecting roadway and the boundary roadway; and using fracturing and extraction technology to extract gas within the through borehole. Utilizing the rapid roadway construction
advantage of the TBM, long-distance, high-efficiency
rock breaking operations can be achieved, improving the
mechanization and intelligence level of the working face. Following drilling and gas extraction, compared to traditional mechanized mining and blasting, this method significantly reduces disturbance to the surrounding rock, lowers the probability of
coal and gas outbursts, effectively improves gas control efficiency, and enables safe and efficient mining of deep coal resources, effectively solving the corresponding technical problems existing in the prior art.
