Embracing Geological Complexity in Open-Pit Mining Design – from Leapfrog to GeoStudio

Embracing Geological Complexity in Open-Pit Mining Design

from Leapfrog to GeoStudio

The design of engineered structures in large-scale rock masses requires consideration of structural geology at a variety of scales. Structural features such as folds, faults and discontinuities control rock mass behaviors and therefore contribute to either stabilization or destabilization of rock slopes.​

Three-dimensional stability analysis is often required to capture the effect of geological structure on stability; and in this sense, a high-resolution geological model that entails every single aspect comprising the subsurface conditions becomes crucial, when it comes to correctly translating the geological features into the analytical model.​

Join us in this webinar as we explore how integrated solutions like Leapfrog and GeoStudio can help you embrace geological complexity and make confident, data-driven design decisions in open-pit mining.

What you will learn:

  • Visualizing subsurface data in a geological model​
  • Translating geological model to analytical model​
  • Assessing the stability of the open pit mine under different geological conditions
