Pittman Mine Service, LLC has officially been in the coal mine slope construction business since 2003 and unofficially since the 1980\u2019s.\u00a0\u00a0The slopes we have put in have varied from 8 to 16 degrees. Our process includes using a miner machine to cut through the rock with a continuous haulage belt, hauling the material out of the excavation to the surface.\u00a0\u00a0Because of the process that we use, there is no drilling or shooting required.\u00a0\u00a0This has many advantages, including increased advancement and time saving, which relates to a substantial decrease in labor costs.\u00a0\u00a0These are savings that we are able to pass on to our customers.<\/p>\n
Past constructed slopes include Riola, Vermilion Grove, Buckcreek, Redbird, Advent, Howesville, Carlisle, Lively Grove, and Viper West.\u00a0\u00a0These slopes are located in Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois.<\/p>\n
