Objective
The aim of the project was to obtain the frictional ignition characteristics of the seams in Lorraine, to develop a new pick and water spray system and to carry out frictional ignition trials in a surface gallery.
In France, whilst there had been no frictional ignitions on the same scale as in the UK and the USA before 1982, there were 13 incidents between 1982 and 1987 - 10 on the face and three in roadways.
