  • Patent number: 12196076
    Abstract: Disclosed is a grouting and water blocking method for a hard rock stratum. The grouting and water blocking method include the following steps. At first, hydrogeological information and coal seam information of a hard rock stratum is obtained. Then, a drilling trajectory of the hard rock stratum is determined based on the hydrogeological information and the coal seam information. Later, at least one drilling device is determined corresponding to the drilling trajectory based on types of multiple rock layers contained in the hard rock stratum. After that, the multiple rock layers contained in the hard rock stratum are drilled sequentially according to the drilling trajectory using the at least one drilling device.
