UKGEOS Glasgow post-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 post-drill bedrock model. This model describes both surveyed (recorded on mine abandonment plan) and probable coal mine workings. An area of probable workings has been updated to account for the results of drilling borehole GGC01. Further details and model limitations can be found in the accompanying metadata report http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/531157/

The model has been built by cutting out surveyed and probable mine extents from the post-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 possibly mined as judged by BGS (close to coal subcrop/outcrop, boreholes have proved mine waste/voids, adjacent to shafts etc). Stone and coal roads are from mine abandonment plans and use bedrock model Z heights. This post-drill coal mine model includes the results of seven UKGEOS Glasgow boreholes that penetrated coal or mine workings. Intact coals proved in borehole GGC01 have resulted in an area of probable mine workings being removed compared to the pre-drill model. The model has been through the National Geological Model approval process. More details in http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/531157/
