Open Pit Design

An add-on for Maptek Vulcan

Open Pit Design add-on includes open pit design and drill and blast design tools for metalliferous and stratigraphic mines.

This add-on allows mining engineers to design, evaluate and ensure profitable mine operations. Designs can be easily updated with the latest data for generating daily production reports.

Capability includes simple, repeatable workflows for automated and interactive road and ramp design. Translate designs into mineable solids and/or blocks ready for scheduling. Comprehensive tools for open pit drill and blast support a variety of conditions, with templates to ensure consistency and auditability.

Dragline design tools simulate cast blasting, bulldozing, truck and shovel operations, and other types of material movement, for developing optimised range diagrams.
