Pit Slope Design Software
Inter-Ramp and Overall Slope Angle Design
Set bench face angles, inter-ramp slopes, and overall pit wall angles based on geotechnical data. Optimize slope steepness against factor of safety targets.
K-MINE pit slope design sets bench face angles, inter-ramp slopes, and overall wall angles based on geotechnical investigation data with direct feedback to pit optimization and detailed design tools. Balance slope steepness against factor of safety targets to maximize ore access without compromising operational safety. Evaluate sector-specific slope configurations accounting for rock mass quality variation, structural orientation, and groundwater regime across the pit perimeter.
Limit Equilibrium Analysis
Calculate factor of safety using Bishop Simplified, Janbu, and Force Polygon methods with support for groundwater conditions, tension cracks, and bench loads across heterogeneous slopes.
Finite Element Stress Modeling
Evaluate stress-strain distribution and deformation behavior using FEM for complex geometries where standard limit equilibrium assumptions are insufficient.
Rock Mass Rating & Classification
Enter physical-mechanical properties, strength parameters, and bench structure to classify geotechnical risk and identify potentially unstable zones by sector.
Cross-Section Visualization
Build cross-sections through pit walls combining drillhole data, block model properties, and interpreted geology to visualize faults, stratification, and stability-critical features.
Slope Condition Monitoring
Track displacement and groundwater indicators over time, set thresholds to flag changes requiring review, and validate analysis assumptions against observed behavior.
Results Export to Pit Design
Store geotechnical properties and ratings directly in block model fields, generate stability reports with factor of safety outputs, and share results for sector-based slope angle decisions.
