Summary The design of underground plugs is well documented for the gold mines of South Africa where reasonably hard rock and relatively high water pressures are experienced at deep levels. However, very little new information has been forthcoming in the last two decades, and published design data concerning other situations in softer rocks and with lower imposed hydrostatic pressures is virtually non-existent. This paper therefore sets out to review underground plug design with the object of bringing the subject to prominence and more up to date. An attempt has also been made to rationalize the design process in relation to current practice. Six sections are included in the paper, the various types of plug being described at the beginning. The factors to be considered in plug design form the basis for discussion in the second section and design calculations are detailed in the third. Construction aspects follow while plug sealing and resistance to leakage are the topics included as the fifth section. To elucidate the contents of the previous five sections more fully, the last section comprises three current case studies of actual plugs. Based on the overall concepts contained in the paper, conclusions and recommendations for plug design are formulated at the end.
