Mine Planning & Engineering
Good mine plans make money quietly. Bad ones bleed it into stripping, rehandle, and downtime nobody budgeted. We review, fix, and build plans that the pit crew can actually run.
What this covers
Pit & phase design review
Bench geometry, wall angles, ramp systems, and phasing checked against the reserve, the equipment, and the ground.
Stripping & scheduling
Waste scheduling that smooths the strip ratio instead of letting it ambush year three.
Drill & blast optimization
Pattern design, powder factor, timing, and fragmentation review — better breakage upstream is the cheapest crusher upgrade there is.
Ground control
Slope and bench stability review, catch-bench adequacy, and monitoring recommendations for surface operations.
Ventilation
Airflow, resistance, and fan-duty analysis for underground workings under applicable MSHA parts.
Deliverables
- Design review memo with ranked findings and fixes
- Revised phase plans and schedules in usable formats
- Blast design standards and audit templates the crew keeps
- Ventilation calculations with fan-duty recommendations
When you need this
When costs drift and nobody can point to why. Before committing to a pushback. When the insurance carrier or regulator asks questions the current plan can't answer.
