Vulcan MineModeller - Underground

Vulcan’s ability to embrace the many different aspects of underground mine design and combine them efficiently into one menu greatly reduces time spent on repetitive work.

The specialist tools included in the Underground design menu include:

• An integrated suite of tools for creating underground developments for a variety of mining methods. Centrelines can be created and edited, then triangulation models can be created using any roadway profile.
  
• Reports that can be generated on underground developments, showing volumes, gradients and mining costs. Fully annotated plans can also be created.
  
• Stope design options that work in conjunction with block models. The reserves in each ring can be calculated during the design process.
  
• Underground coal options that allow the design of underground coal mine plans, either freehand or using regular, pre-defined patterns. Plans for room & pillar, longwall & shortwall can be created.
  
• Underground coal reserves options that provide estimation of volume, tonnage, quality etc. of underground coal mine plans, by interrogating seam grids created in the grid modelling modules.
