Delta
Timely information and agility are key to addressing spatial deviations from the mining plan. Delta automatically calculates mine plan spatial compliance using actual topographical surveys and 3D surfaces of the mining area.
DELTA
Delta aims to reduce deviations from the mining plan based on actual surveys and 3D modeled surfaces or solids. Delta automatically carries out spatial compliance calculations and outputs compliance models compatible with all major mine planning software.
FEATURES
Delta is a tool designed for short-term mine planners and control and reconciliation engineers who are not satisfied with the time and effort their mine’s current spatial reconciliation process currently takes. With its intuitive, and user-friendly, interface, Delta is quick and easy to use.
AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATES SPATIAL COMPLIANCE
Delta automatically calculates the spatial differences between the initial and final mine surveys and the mine plan for a given period, categorised by volumes and/or tonnages. It then generates exportable outputs for each of the plan compliance solids, in formats supported by all commonly-used mine-planning software.
CONFIGURABLE REPORTS BY PUSHBACK AND MINE AREAS
Delta allows you to define pushbacks and mining areas, enabling better understanding of any deviations.
BLOCK MODEL INTEGRATION
With Delta, you can quickly and easily obtain results based on volume and block model calculations.
PLANNED END-OF-PERIOD SURFACES GENERATION
Producing planned end-of-period surfaces is no longer a problem with Delta. Get the final surface for single or multiple periods, starting from the initial topographical survey and the sequence of plan solids.
BUDGET MODULE
Using the Budget module, you can monitor, report, and store the spatial compliance to the budget plan results on a monthly basis. You will be able to add results every month and navigate them on a 3D interface and save directly to a pdf.
OTHER FUNCTIONALITIES
Delta also allows you to display results in cross-section views, customise report categories, import/export defined calculation areas, triangulate polylines, cut surfaces, change triangulation file formats, and more.
FAQ
The time will depend entirely on the size of the inputs; however, the process usually takes between 1 and 5 minutes.
In order to use Delta features you need at least the:
a. Planned start and end surfaces or planned mining solids,
b. Actual start and end of period topographical surveys, and
c. A block model.
