OFFICIAL already failed, the support system uses system-based data-driven control methodologies to protect the rock mass through energy-absorbing and yielding type reinforcements; layered supports; long reinforcements; and robotic installations; while providing real-time monitoring of the performance, instrumented support systems, and digitally validated design of the system to allow for predictive and adaptive management system. Additionally, avant-garde technologies, placing support as a core production technology that underpins fatality risk reduction and sustained operational performance in the most demanding environments. A simple comparison of conventional, advanced, and innovative methods is found in Table 10.

If most of the aspects cited in Table 10 are properly addressed, then using systems such as high tensile strength mesh installed with handler device (Table 9 and Figure 2) may contribute to a significant risk reduction. Avant-garde technologies provide more than just safety benefits by being a single focus of controlling one critical factor, the rock mass stability. Terrain failures not only create major risks for the safety of workers; they also affect productivity in terms of delays/ restricted access, damaged equipment, and increased unplanned downtime. By stabilising the rock mass, this support controls the negative impact of terrain failures at the source. For this reason, should not be seen simply as a safety cost. It also serves as an enabler for production by improving the availability of assets, decreasing operating cycles and eliminating unanticipated interruptions. In deep high stress/ highly mining operations, these benefits have proven to be achievable. Current systems can be installed shortly after blasting and accomplished through mechanisation, resulting in significant reductions in the time that an excavation remains unsupported and thus providing faster, reliable, and safer access to the face. In turn, this allows for faster reentry following a blast, improved predictability of development cycles, improved scheduling discipline, and greater efficiency for the mine operator through increased productivity while also reducing exposure to hazards caused thereby. Mechanised installation devices are currently deployed successfully at multiple underground mining operations worldwide. Some of these deployments are subject to non‑disclosure (confidentiality) agreements, further underscoring the maturity and reliability of the technology under a wide range of geological and operational conditions.
