Power Geotechnical has extensive experience in modelling of granular flow for caving mines worldwide.  Our customised software tools provide rapid modelling solutions for all types of caving mine, specialising in recovery forecasting, scheduling and draw control optimisation.

Recovery Forecasting

Accurately model extraction recovery zones using our in house simulation software

Scheduling

Produce production sequences and schedules optimised to your specific constraints

Draw Control Optimisation

Generate draw strategies producing the optimal recovery and dilution mix for a given orebody

Integration

Run through the Deswik mining software packeage and access Deswik’s scheduling, licensing and visualisation capabilities

Power Geotechnical support two software codes which can be used for the planning of caving mines (PGCA and DMM).
These codes are built with the following aims:

Ease of use

and speed of calculation.  This allows the user more time for critical engineering analysis, and less time setting up and watching models run;

Accuracy

to allow the user to calibrate readily against operational results and generate realistic forecasts;

Functionality

to allow achievement of multiple planning goals, within modelling frameworks which allow simulation of real characteristics of rock flow behaviour;

Why Us?

  • Improve mine profitability
  • Speed up mine planning
  • Optimise metal production and resource recovery
  • Calibrate mine production and accurately forecast future production
  • Account for factors such as alternate flow mobilities, cave propagation, and delayed hangingwall failure.
  • Visualise granular flow outcomes from production schedule
  • Simulate SLC, block caving, and panel caving from same software platform
  • Integration with Deswik mining software package
