Shaft VI – currently the deepest shaft in Poland – was sunk in JSW S.A. “Budryk” hard coal mine in Ornontowice. Shaft sinking was performed in two stages: in 1979–1985 to the depth of 1034.3 m and then in 2011–2015 to the target depth of 1320.0 m. During the deepening process, the contractor had to face technical problems – construction of shaft lining in the fault zone. At the depth of approx. 1175.5 – 1230.0 m, the shaft crossed the Chudecki fault zone, in which heavily cracked and crumbled rocks were encountered. In this zone, the shaft lining was designed and constructed as a compound (two-layer) lining made using reinforced concrete with the thickness of 0.70 m (inner layer) and using pre-fabricated elements – panels (outer layer) with a concrete outer shell with the minimum thickness of 10 cm – a compensation layer between the rock mass and the panels. The outer later, protecting the sidewall of the shaft working was constructed with reinforced concrete panels with the height of 60 cm, minimum thickness of 50 cm and outer length of 210 cm.
