Abstract: | Abstract.
Drainage systems in large surface mines are designed to
accomplish three basic objectives: keeping working conditions
dry, stable and safe; lowering hydrostatic pressure and
increasing the effective stress of soil to improve slope
stability; and ensuring pit floor workability. This can be
achieved with drainage facilities that include channels, water
collection sumps, and pump stations. We report the development
of a computer-aided system called Dewatering of Open Pit Mines
(DEWOP), which can assist open pit mine designers to solve
water-related problems. The system was developed in a Visual
Basic object programming language, taking advantage of
multi-user, open database connectivity, such as Microsoft
Access, for storage and processing of information. In tests at
coal and copper surface mines, it reduced drainage facilities
costs by 8%. |
