Abstract
The exploitation of water-soluble mineral deposit is associated with the risk of accidental break of groundwater in the mine workings. In this regard, in addition to the mine loss, there is the problem of the stability of individual areas of the uppermost part of the section, which is the basis for the objects of industrial and civil infrastructure. The application of 3D seismic technology on such potentially dangerous areas can be economically and scientifically viable, because it makes possible to reconstruct the spatial position of the target reflectors more accurately and get three-dimensional representation of the object, that is not possible with two-dimentional seismic profiling. The article presents the results of assessment of capability for 3D seismic engineering research in geological aspects forecasting, that effect the safety of underground mining activity, within the productive salt mine at Upper Kama potassium and magnesium salts deposit.
