Mine Planning (Truck and Loader) – Perth

This two-day course teaches participants best practice planning approaches for truck and loader mining systems as well as operational improvement initiatives to improve site productivity and reduce costs. Participants will use HAULSIM in the course workshops to simulate and analyse various planning scenarios.

Please note – this course offering is taking registrations of interest at this time. Dates will be confirmed when a minimum number of registrations have been received.

Mine design & layout

Cost effective mining methods, approach to mine design, and impact of design on schedule.

Haulage trucks

Overview of operational characteristics, rear dump trucks, bottom dump trucks, trolley assist, equipment components, and future technology.

Loading units

Overview of operational characteristics, rope shovels, excavators (backhoe & face shovel), front end loaders, and surface miners.

Productivity estimation

Truck productivities (travel time estimation, cycle time influences, and performance curves), loader productivities, and integrated truck and loader fleet productivity.

Operating techniques

Working area dimensions (optimal bench heights / width), maintaining bench grade, haulroad design / maintenance, loading techniques, and truck dumping.

Factors affecting fleet productivity & cost

Loader buckets, matching, operating rules, philosophy, rolling resistance, and mixed truck fleets.

Mining economics

Time value of money, marginal costing, discounted average cost, ownership costs, operating costs, and fleet costs.
