    Uploaded by

    Arvind Sangeeta Kothari
    This document provides guidance on improving mining job efficiency through better equipment management and training. It discusses best practices for loading zones, haul roads, and dumping zones. Key recommendations include maintaining smooth floors and grades, minimizing turn angles, and ensuring adequate drainage and road width for haul roads. Proper setup and techniques like full bucket loads on the first pass can also optimize loading efficiency.

    HAULING

    Hauling
    Haul Road Geometry Should Allow Smooth and Cost-efficient Operation of a Haul Truck Fleet at Designed Operating Speed and Target Payload The Road Construction Quality Should be Maintained Throughout Normal Expected Mining Conditions

    What Can Slow Us Down on Haul Roads


    Uneven Haul Road
    Bumps / Dips

    Rolling Resistance Passing Machines Corners Grades

    Haul Road Width - Allow Passing


    One Way - 3 Truck Widths (use largest truck) Two Way Straights - 3.5 Truck Widths Two Way Corners 3.5 to 4 Truck Widths GIVE LOADED TRUCKS PRIORITY

    One-way (Straights/corners) Two-way (In Straights) Two-way (In Corners)

    Corners
    Most People Slow Down for Corners Design Corners and Crests That Permit Sufficient Visibility at Normal Travel Speeds Avoid Corners on Crests Avoid Curves at Bottom of Downgrade Intersections (Loaded Has Priority) Super-elevation

    Visual Inspection - Main Haul Road


    Road Is Free of Puddles, Potholes, Ruts, Gullies Passing Room Is Adequate

    Corner Radius Allows Safe Operation at High Speed


    Spillage Is Removed Quickly No Rubber Deposits on Tight, Rocky Turns High Braking Forces Not Necessary on Corners Expected Road Speeds Are Achieved

    Visual Inspection - Dumping Zone


    Floor Is Smooth Trucks Enter at High Speed, Parallel to Edge Trucks Brake in Straight Line, Then Turn and Stop to Reverse to Dump

    Safety Berms Are Regulation Height


    Is Dump Stable Enough to Dump Over Safely or Should You Dump Short and Push off?

    Remember.

    Haul Road Maintenance

    A Haul Road Requires Maintenance, Similar to the Equipment Operating on It


    Like the Machines, Haul Road Maintenance Schedule Should Exist at Every Mine Site

    Remember. The Haul Road Starts at the Face and Ends at the Dump

    Water Management
    Water Is the Enemy of Roads. Thus Roads Should NEVER Be Flat Unless It NEVER Rains on Your Site!

    The Slope Needed to Carry Water off the Road Can Be Obtained From Either Crowning or Crossfall
    A Crown Is the Centre of the Road Being Higher Than the Sides A Constant Crossfall Is Keeping One Side or the Road Higher Than the Centre

    Drainage

    Any Haul Road Design Is Only As Good As Its Drainage Compared to a Sealed Road:
    Drainage is important as material on site typically not great Since there is no seal, traffic & water can damage road quickly

    The Keys to Maintaining a Haul Road in Best Condition Are:


    Quickly shedding water through crown or crossfall Quickly draining water from the side of the road by use of drains Intercepting water before it reaches the road

    Drainage
    The Simplest Way to Reduce Water Damage to a Haul Road Elevate the Haul Road Above the Lay of the Land

    Haul Road Maintenance


    When Major Repairs Are Required to a Section of Road, the Following Steps Need to Be Carried Out
    Ripping of gravel surface (1st layer) Re-shaping of road to original design Compaction and watering of surface

    Haul Road Economics


    Good Haul Road Planning and Maintenance Provide Substantial Benefits
    Safer mine pit environment Increased tyre life More uptime Increased operator efficiency Lower repair costs

    Improved Production/Lower Costs

    Haul Road Maintenance Grading Is the Key Element to Haul Road Maintenance
    It facilitates bringing material in from the sides or cutting down high sections and filling the low spots with surplus loose material Maintenance grading should not penetrate past the first layer of a haul road
