Haul road maintenance costs are a huge expense, and most mining companies are forever looking at ways to reduce this onerous burden. As such, mining companies can become susceptible to sales pitches from different road stabilisation service providers who claim to be able to offer them “massive” savings on haul road maintenance.
Using monitoring technology to reduce the cost of haul road ownership
Haul roads can feel like a bottomless pit of expenditure for miners. The trouble with haul roads is that most mines see them as only temporary, or at best semi-permanent. So, roads are often built in a hurry, with minimal expertise, and a lot of shortcuts taken to bring them within the allocated budget.
The haul road – is it your mine’s greatest asset or greatest liability?
Investing in a haul road is a great way to protect your valuable asset and deliver exceptional ROI. However, in both surface and underground mining, badly designed and poorly maintained haul roads, be it primary or secondary, can significantly increase costs.
Why different types of mine roads need different dust control solutions
Achieving an effective and consistent dust management solution for mine roads is an ongoing challenge for mine operators. This is mainly because there is no single product or process that can be used to achieve optimal dust control across an entire mine site.
