Pit head drawings

Pit head drawings are detailed technical diagrams that illustrate the structure of a coal mine’s headframe and associated installations at the surface. They show the design of the tower (headframe), hoisting equipment, winding mechanisms, and auxiliary facilities for safely lifting miners, equipment, and extracted coal from underground. These drawings help engineers, builders, and safety personnel understand the layout and construction of the mine’s surface infrastructure, ensuring proper assembly, operation, and maintenance. Essentially, they are essential visual tools for planning and managing the surface works of a mining operation.
