Open Pit Mine Design

Dynamic 3D Pit Shell and Bench Generation

Design complete open pit geometries with automatic bench creation, slope constraints, and real-time updates. Integrated with block models for ore control.

K-MINE open pit mine design software providing integrated tools for pit optimization, pushback design, bench configuration, and haul road layout for surface mining operations. Design complete open pit mines from optimized pit shells through detailed bench geometry. Support surface mining engineers with tools for ramp design, waste dump planning, and phase sequencing.

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.
