Mine 3D Design

Mine 3D Design enables you to design all required features to the open pit and surrounding mine site within the constraints, such as tenement boundaries, existing buildings, and natural features of —the available space. This app is suitable for on-site mine designers who perform routine calculations for placing components such as ramps, haul road networks, ore stockpiles, process plants, ore waste dumps — within the mine site layout.

Mine 3D Design is a native app that helps you guide iterative design of surface mine sites and monitor storage need, volumes, and capacities around ore stockpiles and ore waste. Initializing the design work for surface mine involves modeling the following components:

  • Mine haul roads
    • Connect mine site facilities.
    • Follow benches (steps in the pit slope)
    • Enable access to ore and waste rock within the pit. For example, haul roads to bring the mined ore and waste rock to ore stockpiles.
  • Waste dumps
  • Process plants
  • Serviced roads and infrastructure
  • Dumps and tailings dams

This guide covers basic concepts and techniques that surface mine designers can use to incorporate analysis into the design process.
