Haulage Exit Benches

To access this screen:

Optimization control bar >> Scheduler >> Haulage Info and select the Exit Benches tab.

Check and export pushback bench exit data to a .csv file. A tab exists for each pushback source (mine, stockpile, or dump site).

Exit benches are defined for each selected mine. .

The bench exit points are defined by their world coordinates (XYZ). You must define at least one exit bench for each pushback - you can check this by clicking Check Complete.

Note: The maximum allowed number of exit points is 100.

To define an exit bench for a mine:

Display the Exit Benches screen.
Expand Choose pushback: to select a pushback for which the exit points will be defined.
Enter XYZ coordinates for each exit bench (represented by a row in the table).

Note: You can type or paste coordinates copied from a spreadsheet. At least one row of the grid has to be filled, and there is no limit to the number of coordinate locations you can specify.
For each exit bench, specify a Factor: In pits with relatively large benches and short surface hauls, the bench hauls may not be directly from the block to the bench exit point and can be a significant component of the overall cycle time. In addition, the haulage speed on the bench can be slower than the average flat haul speed.
Click Check Complete to validate your data.
Optionally, click Export to csv file to create a comma-delimited external file with bench exit locations. This can be useful for import to other systems and projects.
Review and (if required) edit other haulage settings using other tabs.
Click OK and save your project.
