Carlson Surface Mining

For complex surface mining design and techniques with precise scheduling and timing The Carlson Surface Mining module enables users to find the most efficient mine design by testing layouts in plan, section and 3D view. Use Carlson to: Integrate geologic and surface modeling with plan view, 3D view, and section view mine layout routines Get accurate calculations of overburden, ore quantities, strip ratios, rehandle, and ultimately, cost Easily convert any road or ditch centerline, dam, building pad, pit or other defined object into a final terrain Accurately schedule and monitor your mine with Carlson’s color-coding that highlights your production timing and statistics, calendars that explore “what if?” scenarios, calendars to monitor equipment usage, plus the ability to base timing on calendar periods or tonnages or on volumes of overburden. New, multiple slope groups are now easy to define for all pit blocks globally with symbols for different slope and bench templates on different sides. You can now cut through the benches whether working from the top down or the bottom up with automatic ramp building.
