Hybrid mining techniquescombine certain aspects of surface and underground mining. Highwall mining is a hybrid technique used in combination with the surface mining of coal. In this technique, miners use special push beams or push carsto drive a drilling device called a cutterhead into the wall of a previously mined furrow. The mined coal is transferred from the cutterhead for recovery. This creates a tunnel as wide as the cutterhead that can reach more than 1000 feet (300 meters) long. Experts consider highwall mining a hybrid technique because although the coal is mined from underground, no workers enter the underground area.
