The Surpac Interface – understanding all of the main components and how to customise them to improve your efficiency.Introduction – course overview, understand key outcomes and your goals.This training course has been drawn from industry best practice as well as more than twenty years of Surpac experience. These concepts are reinforced through a large number of practical activities, all of which involve using Surpac on a real-life data set. Whittle optimisation: Optimisation using Whittle software.You will learn about the fundamental concepts of Surpac’s interface, graphics environment, geology database, string files, DTM surfaces, solids modelling (wireframing), block modelling and macros. Setup of schedule in MineSched geared towards open pit production MineSched - Open pit: Surpac preparation for MineSched short term schedules. Mining methods geared towards underground scenarios. MineSched - Underground: MineSched setup and running of schedules, reporting and visualisation. Survey: Survey Volumes and set-outs and connecting to and from Survey Instruments, Data Manipulation Mine Planning- Drill and Blast: Drill and blast design setups and manipulation Mine Planning- Pit Design: Pit and dump design using various methods and techniques for ramp and berm configuration and volume calculations.
