🚨 Exciting Webinar Alert!

Mine planners face constant pressure navigating labour-intensive tasks like strategic mine planning and pit design. But what if there’s a smarter way?

Join GEOVIA and CIM as we explore “A Better Way to Approach Strategic Mine Planning” with Parametric Design – an innovative solution that simplifies complex workflows, eliminates inefficiencies, and optimizes every step of the process.

🎙️ Featuring @Chawki JREIGE, GEOVIA Industry Process Senior Specialist, this session will unveil how a parametric design platform can transform how you tackle planning challenges.

Topic: A Better Way to Approach Strategic Mine Planning

Abstract: Strategic mine planning and pit design are labour-intensive and time-consuming tasks within mine engineering. Because these tasks sit downstream of a host of prior tasks, such as resource modelling and geostatistical analysis, any upstream changes cause prohibitively heavy workloads for planning engineers. New drilling triggers updates to geological and resource models which, in turn, trigger updates to pit optimization, which trigger updates to pit design. The outputs of pit design itself serve as upstream inputs to scheduling. The problem, however, is that in the real world these updates are invariably labour-intense and time-consuming.

In this webinar, we will explore Parametric design, a technology that is intended to address the inefficiencies in this process. In parametric design all inputs are stored in the project as parameters. The design output is always the product of the inputs, so managing the design becomes a matter of managing inputs (parameters). And updating designs is a matter of applying parameters to upstream changes to create new outputs. Upstream changes feed downstream updates. These updates can be triggered at any time by the planning engineer. Updates can also be experimented with by copying scenarios (collections of parameters) and making changes.

We will also talk about the goal of a design platform that uses parametric design as its organizing philosophy to reduce the friction in the design process. It makes it easier for everyone along the chain of activities to do their work. Strategic mine planners can quickly and easily generate a pit optimization and strategic mine plan based on an updated resource model. Planners can quickly and easily update pit designs based on newly created optimized pit shells.
