Haul Road Design and Operational Benchmarking
Abstract
Participants will develop skills in basic haul road geometric design principles for optimum road and truck fleet performance, structural and layerworks design and evaluation techniques, functional design, incorporating wearing course material selection and dust palliative selection and management, together with a haul road benchmarking and performance evaluation technique which can be used as a decision-making basis for motivating and implementing haul road maintenance or rehabilitation. The skills developed in this EduMine Training Course will enable participants to evaluate their current haul road systems, recognise operational inefficiencies associated with the road infrastructure and identify and implement appropriate strategies to minimise and manage total cost per ton hauled.
