Included in Deswik's Spatial and Planning solutions

Advanced functionality tailored to the specialized demands of open pit metals operations using a powerful CAD or Scheduling engine.

Key Features

AUTOMATED ROAD DESIGN TOOL
­Determine cut and fill requirements from road centerlines, with solids creation and surface updating. Design to gradient and bench and berm limitations with cut and fill balancing for dropcuts.

*Included in Deswik.Spatial license
ADVANCED RESOURCE LEVELING
Access to features such as backwards pass leveling, multi-field or sink rate targeting and time usage models. Short term manual scheduling via interactive resource paths or import resource paths from other packages.

*Included in Deswik.Planning license
RECONCILIATION
Generate as-mined, as-designed and difference solids from initial, design and final surfaces. Detailed reporting of compliance to plan from a 3D perspective.

*Included in Deswik.Spatial license
MARGIN CALCULATOR
­Wizard-based calculation of Net Present Value and incremental, cumulative and maximum cumulative margins from reserve solids. Import, export and run multiple scenarios against defined costs and revenues as required.

*Included in Deswik.Spatial license
PIT SHELL OPTIMIZER
­Using reserve solids, grids or block models, vary the revenue to calculate the pit shell delivering the maximum undiscounted cash flow. Rapidly identify the economic limits of the deposit.

*Included in Deswik.Spatial license
CALCULATE STEREONETS
Import strike azimuth and dip data to generate geotechnical Stereonets directly in the Deswik.CAD design space. Supports Schmidt, Wulff, Rose and observation diagrams.
