"To realise coal mine construction of 'drilling not down the well, intelligent construction of wells'", there were once people who thought that such a scenario was impossible to realise.But there is another group of people, they are committed to promoting the scientific and technological progress of the coal industry, to achieve the goal of intelligent coal mining unremitting efforts, Fan Jingdao is one of them.After years of research, Fan Jingdao team pioneered an important technological change in coal mining from mechanisation to intelligence, realising intelligent coal mining on the surface of underground coal mines, changing the production mode of miners who used to have to go down to the wells to mine coal.
From the coal miners "coal mining without going down the well" to "playing the well without going down the well", Fan Jingdao rooted in the field of coal mining research for dozens of years, constantly pioneering and innovative, under his leadership, what was once impossible has gradually become a reality, and promote the continuous improvement of the level of coal mining technology.
From coal miner, tunneling workers to technicians, almost all the types of work underground
In 1988, Fan Jingdao graduated from the Xi'an Mining College Mining Department, majoring in coal mining, came to the expansion of the century-old mine - Pubai Mining Bureau Whitewater Coal Mine.
Although he was psychologically prepared for the tough conditions of the mine, the first time he went down the shaft was still unforgettable for Fan Jingdao: "It was pitch black down there, and I could only rely on the lamps above my head to light up my feet, and the dirty air and the long distance walking made me breathless.At that time, I followed the captain, from the trough to the coal mining face, the roadway deformation is serious section, can only crawl a little bit to move forward.Some areas can only bend over to work, a shift down, back pain is simply broken."
"We must liberate miners from the excessive physical labour", from then on, Fan Jingdao buried a dream seed in his heart, firmly committed to the determination of advanced coal mining technology research and practice.
From college students to coal miners, Fan Jingdao carried heavy monitoring equipment, steamed bread and water every day, and hiked four or five kilometres in a thousand-metre-deep well for eight years.
From coal miner, digging worker to technician, the underground work Fan Jingdao almost dry all over, accumulated a lot of practical experience on the front line of the well. 1997, he will be in the production line of the Bayshore Coal Mine production of practical experience and innovation results into a thesis, won the Shaanxi Provincial Coal Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award."It is the practice that gave me the chance to succeed, and technicians can only master the real talent if they go deep into the front line.Years of frontline work experience has laid a solid foundation for me to tackle more complicated technical problems in the future."Fan Jingdao said.
From friction pillar to single pillar support in coal mining face, from wooden shed, I-beam to explore anchor support, from millisecond blasting, high-grade mining to π-beam high-grade mining roof coal technology research, he constantly change the coal mining process technology through technological innovation, improve production efficiency and yield level, change the safety of miners and the operating environment. 2003, 38-year-old Fan Jingdao was appointed as the Chief Engineer of Pubai Mining Bureau.
