Foundations: Rock Storage Facilities

Foundations: for graduate and early-career Mining Engineers and transitioning mining technical professionals. 

During the mining process, large quantities of waste rock must be mined to access the desired ore. Waste rock is often placed in designated areas known as Rock Storage Facilities (RSF), which become part of the post-mining landscape. This course will provide you with a foundation-level understanding of how to design a safe and effective Road Storage Facility, with the end landform in mind.

What's Included

KEY TECHNICAL SKILL

Assess the information used to develop RSF designs and make a change to an existing design that meets operational and quality standards.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe the objectives of RSF designs, the standards they must meet and the information used to create them.
  • Articulate the design techniques employed to make operational changes to RSF designs.
  • Recall conventional post- design checks and approval process for RSF designs.
This course explores the process for developing effective rock storage facility (RSF) designs. We explore some of the key design considerations and common standards RSF designs must meet. Using this information you will develop a simple RSF designs that can be effectively implemented by operations.

Finally, we review post-design activities, including design checks and peer review.
