Measured to control serious coal-gas outburst in coal seam were analyzed by theory and experimented in test site. A new technique to distress the coal-bed and drain methane, called hydraulic slotting, was described in detail, and the mechanism of hydrau-lic slotting was put forward and analyzed. The characteristic parameter of hydraulic slotting was given in Jiaozuo mining area and the characteristic of validity, adaptability and secu-rity was evaluated. The results show that the stress surrounding the strata and the gas in coal seam is released efficiently and thoroughly while new techniques are taken, as slot-ting at heading face by high pressure large diameter jet. The resistance to coal and gas outbursts is increased dramatically once the area of slotting is increased to a certain size.In the process of driving 2 000 m tunnel by hydraulic slotting excavation, coal and gas outburst never occurre. The technique could be used to prevent and control potential coal-gas outburst in the proceeding of tunnel driving, and the speed tunneling could be as high as more than 2 times.
