Roof Supports

Roof supports are structures used in mining and construction to hold up the roof of a tunnel or underground space. They prevent collapses by evenly distributing the weight of the overhead rock or soil. Common forms include timber frames, steel sets, or specialized panels, which are installed as the work progresses. Their purpose is to ensure safety, maintain stability, and allow workers to operate below without risk of roof failure. Properly designed and installed supports are crucial for safe underground environments and successful project completion.
