Adit - (KEY), In mining, underground passage excavated nearly
horizontally, with
one end open to the earth’s surface, usually used to service
a mine. The adit end is the furthermost end from the surface,
i.e., the location where miners work. The adit collar is the
area where an adit opens to the surface and must be reinforced
against any surface weakness. |
