During the past 30 years, surface mine haulage equipment has developed from trucks capable of moving 20 tons of material to vehicles that transport as much as 350 tons. Unfortunately, the design of roads this equipment must traverse has not advanced at the same rate. In many areas, road-building technology appropriate to vehicles of three
Apart from the falls of ground, haulage and transport operations have been responsible for a greater number of accidents involving deaths and injuries than any other single cause. The major proportion of haulage and transport accidents results from runaways. The various safety devices used on haulage roadways are as follows Stop blocks.

Mine haul roads have historically been designed empirically, relying heavily on local experience; the trend in increasing truck size will thus render the current pavement systems inadequate. …
Despite widespread use in copper mines, block caving can be used in a variety of situations where low-grade, high-tonnage deposits cannot be efficiently accessed using open pit methods. ... Block (Gravity) Caving …
The structural design of a pavement relates to the ability of the road to carry the imposed loads without the need for excessive maintenance or rehabilitation. Current techniques for the structural design of haulage roads are empirical and based primarily on the previous experience of personnel assigned to pavement design, both in terms of the strength of the …

3. Locomotive haulage using diesel, electric, or compressed air locomotives. 4. Gravity or self-acting haulage which uses the force of gravity down an inclined plane without an external power source. Safety devices for …
In mining, deposits are divided into blocks, forming the basis for open-pit mine planning, covering production and haulage route planning. Current studies often stage optimization and lack the consideration of road capacity, leading to suboptimal solutions. A novel approach integrates production scheduling and haulage route planning through a bilevel optimization model.
In this article, we will explore what block paving is, why it is used for driveway paving, why it should be considered for patio and garden paving projects, and the variety of options available. This post is designed to be a useful reference for anyone interested in block paving and how it can be used to achieve different visual and functional effects.
The Grasberg block cave rail haulage system will be located in the Grasberg mining district on the island of Papua, Indonesia at an elevation of almost 3000 m above sea level. It will transport 160 000 t of ore per day from multiple chute galleries to the underground crushing systems. The design entails approximately 23 km of rail (ballasted and embedded …
Mining haul roads are a critical component of surface mining infrastructure and the performance of these roads has a direct impact on operational efficiency, costs and safety. A significant proportion of a mine's cost is associated with …
This paper presents an overview of structural design methods for mine haulage roads and, through an analysis and quantification of the structural performance of existing …

This review paper summarises the previous studies on reusing various PW as raw material and aggregate for construction and its properties with special attention to bricks and paving blocks.
Block caving is a gravity-based underground mining method that involves breaking up the rock mass located at depth into pieces. This method is particularly suitable for low-grade minerals or with disseminated mineralization. "Block" refers to the mining layout, which divides the ore bodies into blocks and large sections.
This has led to an increased use of bulk mining methods, like sublevel and block caving, which has increased productivity and reduced costs. Haulage alone plays a major role. Current ... So the early choice for a haulage system that deter-mines the path of the whole project is sometimes made rather randomly and based on experience than on ...
Grasberg block cave mine rail project update – PT Freeport Indonesia F Lara Moran Freeport-McMoRan Inc., United States ... The Grasberg Block Cave (GBC) rail haulage project at PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) is located in the Grasberg Mining District in the province of Papua, Indonesia. PTFI is expected to be producing a peak of
Truck-shovel systems are the dominant material loading and haulage machinery in open pit mining operations. Optimal selection, sizing, and allocation of this capital intensive equipment is highly desirable for both achieving production targets and improving the mine's economics. In this study, discrete event simulation technique was applied ...

ABSTRACT:. Haulage drifts are the arteries of a mine as they transport the valuable minerals out of the mining zone. Therefore, it is crucial in a mining operation that a haulage drift remains functional at all time. Ground failure in a haulage drift can have serious consequences from injuries to delayed production and increased operational cost. A number …
