Overview
ISO 19426-2:2018 - "Structures for mine shafts - Part 2: Headframe structures" specifies the design loads and design procedures for structural design of mine shaft headframes and their components for both permanent and sinking operations. The standard covers all structures and foundations at the head of vertical and decline shafts required to support and install winding and sinking ropes, conveyance and rope guides, rubbing ropes, loading/unloading equipment, safety devices and ancillary sinking/maintenance equipment, including bank and sub-bank levels. It adopts a limit states design philosophy and does not address operational safety or headframe layout.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Design loads and categories
- Permanent loads (structural self-weight, equipment loads)
- Imposed loads (floor/platform, bins/chutes, conveyor and winder loads, kibble and bank door loads, abnormal and seismic loads)
- Rope and conveyance installation loads (winding rope installation, doubling-down, tail rope, rope guides, conveyance change-over)
- Rope operating loads (winding ropes, stage ropes, lateral loads on sheaves, rope guides and rubbing ropes)
- Emergency loads (rope emergency loads, dropback, crash beam/catch plate, emergency arrestor anchors, energy release after rope break, dogging systems)
- Design procedures
- Adoption of limit states design and guidance on design load combinations, partial factors and load effects
- Requirements for overall stability and serviceability (including deflection limits)
- Special provisions for headframe‑mounted winders
- Materials
- Permitted structural materials include structural steel, concrete, and timber, referenced to relevant ISO material standards
- Documentation
- Specifies reference to normative documents and symbols, and assumes local structural design standards are applied where appropriate

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
Many mining companies, and many of the engineering companies which provide designs for mines,
operate globally so ISO 19426 was developed in response to a desire for a unified global approach to
the safe and robust design of structures for mine shafts. The characteristics of ore bodies, such as
their depth and shape, vary in different areas so different design approaches have been developed and
proven with use over time in different countries. Bringing these approaches together in ISO 19426 will
facilitate improved safety and operational reliability.
The majority of the material in ISO 19426 deals with the loads to be applied in the design of structures
for mine shafts. Some principles for structural design are given, but for the most part it is assumed that
local standards will be used for the structural design.
