To stabilise the collapsed mine, concrete pads were formed on rock about five metres below the surface to support the two cast concrete bearers. Four concrete panels were lowered into their position on top of the bearers and were bolted to them. After this a timber frame was made and fixed to the top part of the mine. A timber lining was then attached to replicate the original timbering of the mine.
