Proper pit design and phasing is essential to optimise the whole-life performance of the operation, maximising reserve recovery while avoiding costly double-handling of overburden or excessive haul distances. Macquarie Geotechnical can provide whole-life phasing and annual mining plans to optimise pit development and comply with regulations, while providing the necessary support to operations teams to ensure designs are realised. By making quarry designs and geology models available through online platforms such as Propeller, we can make previously inaccessible geological data easy to understand and work with for quarry managers and operational teams.
