Several methods are available for inspections of mine shafts. These
involve use of inclinometers, moving beams, inertial platforms and
decelerometers. Inspections which use decelerometers are of most interest
since they allow assessment of conditions of shaft steelwork, conveyances
and the shaft itself. This assessment is based on recording and analysing
dynamic behaviour of shaft conveyances. Sample inspections of several
WA shafts confirm feasibility of using this method for periodic shaft
Inspections.
