Abstract: The basic principle and methos of the mine transient electromagnetic detection technique are briefly introduced.Combing the advance detection of a mine as an example,the working method,data processing method,interpretation and application effects of transient electromagnetic technique are analyzed in detail. The engineering application results show that,the transient electromagnetic technique can detect the water inrush structure of the excavating roadway frontal effectively so as to provide the reference to drivage roadway and prevention and control of serious water damage accidents.

Key words: Transient electromagnetic, Advanced detection, Excavating roadway, prevention and control of water disaster
