Modules

Site Conditions
This module builds the geotechnical units considering: Rock Mass Properties (UCS, Young Modulus, Hoek & Brown criteria) and Rock Mass Classification (RQD, RMR, Q, GSI). Finally it builds and stress model using on-site stress measurement

Stope Performance & Mine Design
This Module estimate stope stability and overbreak (per wall). Development of backanalysis and automatic estimation of overbreak

Stope Performance & Mine Design
This Module allows the assessent of the size of stopes along with their geotechnical characteristics by adding their walls on the stability chart

Database Manager
This Module manage historical cases collected using Stope-Performance module. Filter and select information. Make stability curves adjustments. Evaluate literature curves: Mawdesley, Potvin, Clark and Paklnis.

Mine Exploration
This Module explore component of the mine. Allows a complete visualiation of stability graph and a 3D visualization of all collected stopes.
