LOOKING US, JULY 2004 April 2006 Another year later, ACM is acting as a “hinged” grade control structure (adjusting to bed lowering due to headcut)
LOOKING US, JULY 2004 April 2006 Submar ACM system has arrested a larger headcut
LOOKING US, JULY 2004 March year later, larger headcut arrested by Submar mat
