The ultimate tool for modeling mine
services in a simple to operate graphical environment. Automated tools
enable the services network to be created and updated quickly. Services
infrastructure can be modeled based on mine service requirements.
mineServ is based on a methodology that takes the 3D
mine layout (the plan) and the associated production planning and scheduling
activities, and builds a nodal network. Then, the engineering services
(service water, compressed air, and power) and the ventilation network,
which are required to meet these scheduled production requirements, are
mapped onto this network.
One component of mineServ is a Simulation Engine,
which predicts the actual performance of the networked systems. In the
mining context, the system generates a theoretical demand pattern matched to
the production plan.
mineServ has the unique ability to understand the
demand profiles in space and time. This allows for a predictive “demand
pull” view of the required engineering services, not a “bulk supply push”
view.
The product can be used to simulate engineering
infrastructure in a pre-feasibility, operational, or maintenance role. This
gives you the ability to look at several scenarios in a relatively short
period of time, ensuring that the most appropriate engineering standards are
adopted. In an operational setup, it is now possible for you to ensure that
monthly planning changes can be supported by the engineering infrastructure
before the plan is put into practice
