UKGEOS Glasgow pre-drill coal mine model

The UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Glasgow 3D coal mine model outputs, created by the British Geological Survey, provide a semi-regional overview of the depth and extent of surveyed and probable coal mine workings, plus stone and coal roads surveyed within the mines. The model allows users to visualise the surveyed and probable coal mine workings to be found beneath this part of Glasgow, applicable at a scale of around 1: 25,000 to 1: 10,000. The data is supplied as grids, triangulated surfaces over a 5 by 4.15 km area, with the depth range to around 300 m below Ordnance Datum. The mine extents are ‘cut out’ of the UKGEOS Glasgow pre-drill bedrock model. This model describes both surveyed (recorded on mine abandonment plan) and probable coal mine workings before the UKGEOS Glasgow boreholes have been drilled, and was used to inform the expected sequence on drilling. Further details and model limitations can be found in the accompanying metadata report http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/522737

Statement
The model has been built by cutting out surveyed and probable mine extents from the pre-drill UKGEOS Glasgow bedrock model. Surveyed extents are extracted from mine abandonment plans, under Licence agreement with The Coal Authority (BGS ref: IPR/1901-4DR). Probable extents are areas that are possibly mined as judged by BGS as areas close to coal subcrop/outcrop, areas where boreholes have proved mine waste or voids, areas adjacent to shafts etc. Stone and coal roads were modelled by taking their extent from mine abandonment plans and using the bedrock model Z heights as constraint in 3D.
