Open Pit Bench Design

Automated Bench and Berm Configuration

Configure bench heights, berm widths, and face angles with instant 3D visualization. Snap to topography and adjust parameters dynamically.

K-MINE open pit bench design software providing tools for bench geometry configuration, berm width calculation, and inter-ramp slope management within optimized pit shell constraints. Configure bench heights, face angles, berm widths, and catch bench geometry. Support geotechnical compliance with tools linking bench design to slope stability parameters.

Dynamic Pit Design

Change bench height, slope angle, or ramp position and the entire design updates automatically in real time.

Bench and Ramp Generation

Build benches individually or in groups, generate ramps with gradient control, and create switchbacks automatically.

Haul Road Design

Design roads inside the pit or on surface with cross-section profiles applied along centerlines automatically.

Topography Integration

Designs snap to surface topography with automatic wireframe merging for final pit shells and dumps.

Volume Calculation

Calculate excavation and fill volumes from surfaces, closed contours, or block model data with cross-section verification.

Block Model Evaluation

Calculate tonnage and grade within any pit shell directly from the block model with zone and bench breakdowns.
