MAO Haulage Information: Exit Benches

To access this dialog:

  • Using the Optimization control bar, select Allocation & Flow | Haulage Info... and select Exit Benches or (Mine name> Exits for Multimine projects).

This dialog is used to 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. There is one Exit tab for each mine in a multimine project.

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 the Check Complete button at any time. The maximum allowed number of exit points is 100.

Field Details:

Choose pushback: from the dropdown list, select a pushback for which the exit points will be defined.

Exit points coordinates: 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.

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.
