Advanced Open Cut Coal

Advanced functionality tailored to the specialized demands of open cut coal operations.

Key Features

ADVANCED RESERVE PROJECTION
­CAD-based feature introduces advanced reserving processes and tools using the shells projection methods. Incorporate access ramps down each projected highwall for more detailed short-term reserves.
AUTOMATED ROAD DESIGN TOOL
­Determine cut and fill requirements from road centerlines, with solids creation and surface updating. Design to gradient and bench and berm limitations with cut and fill balancing for dropcuts.
TRUCK-LIMITED HAULAGE
Dynamically models the mining and dump schedules based on the current truck fleet. TLH is also appropriate for modeling mixed-fleet haulage scenarios.
NEW LANDFORM AND HAULAGE OPTIONS
­Incorporate conveyor systems with fixed and mobile conveyor load points, modeling interaction with normal truck haulage circuits.
­Include trolley assist haulage options into landform scenarios.
ADVANCED RESOURCE LEVELING
­Access to features such as backwards pass leveling, multi-field or sink rate targeting and time usage models. Short-term manual scheduling via interactive resource paths or import resource paths from other packages.
INTERACTIVE SPOIL BALANCE TOOL
Block by block balancing of the pre-strip horizon against a defined dragline spoil design, with the ability to move material between blocks. Detailed reporting on individual and cumulative block spoil room.
BULK SPOIL BALANCE TOOL
­Strip level calculation of spoil limited pre-strip horizons against a set of defined mining and dragline spoil solids. Automated across multiple strips, showing output labels for calculated dragline elevations.
RECONCILIATION
­Generate as-mined, as-designed and difference solids from initial, design and final surfaces. Detailed reporting of compliance to plan from a 3D perspective.
MARGIN CALCULATOR
­Wizard-based calculation of NPV and incremental, cumulative and maximum cumulative margins from reserve solids. ­ Import, export and run multiple scenarios against defined costs and revenues as required.
PIT SHELL OPTIMIZER
­Using reserve solids, grids or block models, vary the revenue to calculate the pit shell delivering the maximum undiscounted cash flow. Rapidly identify the economic limits of the deposit.
