Specialization
A self-sufficient package
with all the necessary
functions to address
everyday tasks.
Time Efficiency
Impressive speed in delivering projects, both large-scale operations and detailed designs.
Mine Planning Part
Logical extension and an essential component of the mine planning process.
Flexible Settings
Options for parameterization and personalization streamline project development.
Dynamic Open Pit Design
The Dynamic Open Pit Design is a part of the Open Pit Design module. Create huge constructions of mining activities, such as Final Pit Design, Final Dumps Design, Pushbacks, and Pit Expansion for the required period.
Create Ramp Systems, Add Switchbacks, change the start of the Ramps, and all of this with one mouse click, etc… Use the initial topography as a constraint for designing.
Create pits from the top to the bottom and vice versa.
Avoid boring manual construction and save your time with Dynamic Design Tool!
Manual Open Pit Design
Use manual constructions in the design module to achieve maximum design accuracy. The flexibility and customisation of this project creator will impress anyone. Minimum actions and maximum results.
Variability is achieved by a large number of methods for performing the required construction. Choose the method that suits you best and take advantage of the hotkeys during the construction process. With the help of snaps, editing elements, and many specialised commands, your project will be perfect.
Cover Operational Process with K-MINE
The K-MINE: Open Pit Design is designed to meet all the operational needs of your enterprise. This powerful tool provides a comprehensive range of functions essential for effective design management, ensuring high precision and process optimization.
Create a group of benches by setting mining parameters
or by a preconfigured cross-section.
Don’t forget to use flexible and important editing tools during construction and create your profile with menus, buttons, snapping, and hotkeys.
Create Benches
Create Benches for designing in single mode or create a group of them simultaneously. Create one-by-one with different commands – Line with constant slope angle, Line with variable slope angle, Create offset line, etc.
Create a group of benches by setting mining parameters or by a preconfigured cross-section. Don’t forget to use flexible and important editing tools during construction and create your profile with menus, buttons, snapping, and hotkeys.
Road Design
With specific tasks for Road Design, you can easily create connections between main mining points. They could be in the mine and out of it, doesn’t matter. The surface aspects will be taken into consideration.
Create Ramps
Create Ramps in dynamic mode with our flexible tool to avoid difficulties. Just set the required parameters, choose the start point, and select a place for its construction. K-MINE offers a variety of options for creating ramps. The fastest, easiest, and most flexible way to create a ramp is by running the Construct Ramp command.
Many parameters can be configured to align with your requirements and specific conditions. This way, you can quickly create ramps that meet all necessary criteria. Also, you can design it manually, but it could be done in semi-automatic mode.
Create ramps along the toe or crest, this will be found automatically.
2D Sections
Create fast 2D sections with pre-configured templates. This is a traditional method of data display for a quick and clear representation of elements for analysis or printing.
Motor and other road profiles are an integral part of K-MINE‘s section functions.
Using profiles, you can promptly determine the deviation of the actual road from the design, analyze it, make a decision, and request corrections if needed.
Also, create road profiles, drilling block cross-sections, geological cuts, mining sections, etc. with our universal tool.
3D Sections
Create 3D Sections for fast analysis of existing information
This option immediately provides a clear picture of the elements you want to see.
Displaying data as sections is a versatile tool, perfect for quick analysis of geological data to compare with the project, etc.
Calculate Volumes
Each engineer and surveyor are required to Calculate Volumes. Mining or filling, doesn’t matter, you can do this by several methods, including block model. Calculate volumes with a tool that will fall into your criteria mostly.
Is it with closed contour, between surfaces, or between surfaces with cross-section visualization, or with Block model, or just restrict block model and calculate parameters of visible blocks, etc?
Choose what you need for the specific task.

Mining Technological Documentation
Create 2D Mining Technological Documentation as Face Mining Rules the same as in CAD software.
Flexible snapping and editing tools in combination with hotkeys will be the perfect combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Open Pit Design module in K-MINE?
The Open Pit Design module in K-MINE is used for creating detailed 3D models of open pits and dumps. It enables users to design pits dynamically, taking into consideration factors like bench height, slope angle, and road design. It also allows for the management of multiple design stages from initial planning to operation.
How do I start a new Open Pit Design?
To begin a new open pit design, you can use the “Dynamic Design” tool. This tool allows you to define edges, bench levels, and zones, automatically generating a 3D model based on the parameters you set. You can define the baseline using a design boundary or an existing pit boundary.
What is Dynamic Design, and how does it work?
Dynamic Design is an interactive tool in K-MINE that allows real-time creation of open pit and dump models. The process starts by selecting a baseline, which could be a design boundary or an existing pit edge. The module generates virtual lines and updates them dynamically as you adjust parameters like direction (Top Down or Down Top), pit levels, and road placements.
What file formats can I export my designs to?
You can export designs to standard formats such as DXF or XML. The project files can be saved and reopened for later use or shared with stakeholders.
Can I generate and view reports directly from the module?
Yes, K-MINE’s Open Pit Design module allows you to generate reports based on the model’s parameters and calculations. The reports can include details like pit dimensions, volume calculations, and economic evaluations.
