Mining plants liquidatingtheunnecessary objects, especially shafts, encounter difficulties related mainly to the selectionof appropriate technology. In this material, we present solutions fortwo more difficult cases. The first consists in liquidating the shaft without making dams and maintaining the water permeability of the backfilling(Głowacki shaft), while the second one is the liquidation of the shaft, leaving theladder compartment, pipelines and with the so-called artificial bottom which isin the shaft (Jas II shaft).
