The results of geotechnical support of vertical shaft construction are described. The study was performed in regional zones of tectonic dislocation at a depth of 1200 m, in saliniferous rock at a depth of 540 m, in sedimentary frozen rock with a thickness of 620 m. The method has been tested for 30 years. It ensures greater vertical shaft construction and operation safety.
