Short Course Next Week: Open Pit Slope Design And Implementation

Next week - November 26-27 - Peter F. Stacey will be presenting the short course Open Pit Design and Implementation in Vancouver. This course presents an overview of the process for the design and management of slopes in open pit mines. Starting with a description of the information required to support a slope design and the methods of data collection, it progresses to the design procedures for bench configurations, inter-ramp slopes and overall slopes, including the analytical procedures commonly in use. Specific examples of design will be presented and discussed in the class to illustrate that factors that could affect pit slope stability.

Attendees can include persons with expertise in specific areas of the mining industry who need to interface to the broader spectrum of the business, or those requiring a refresher in their field. For those with limited or no technical background, the course will provide a more than basic introduction to open pit mining, enabling the attendee to ask the right questions and make informed decisions.
