Criteria and technological requirements for creation of a bridge platform to extract peat raw materials for climate-neutral geotechnology

The development of technologies for extraction of peat raw materials that perform extraction without reducing the water table in peat deposits requires designing of new mining machines. The presented solution makes it possible to minimize the loss of biodiversity in the area, and also entails the need to select the technological requirements for creation of mining machines to extract peat raw materials in the specified conditions. The types and kinds of equipment for extraction of peat raw materials are shown, innovative solutions for the development of flooded peat deposits are specified. The following criteria are proposed for designing a bridge platform to operate in conditions of undrained deposits: unsinkability, energy efficiency and technical availability, assessed through the utilization ratio. To ensure the energy efficiency of the propulsion gear, an algorithm is presented for determining the position of the platform support during its movement, the validity of which has been confirmed experimentally. Maintenance of the specified level of technical availability of the platform is ensured by the use of an acoustic emission rapid diagnostics system to assess the state of the working fluid in hydraulic circuit in addition to the basic on-board diagnostic systems.
