Course Structure
About Haul Road Design and
Operational Benchmarking
Part 1 - Introduction to Haul Introduction
Road Design and
Construction
This EduMine course will introduce participants to the principles of
Part 2 - Haul Road Design mine haul road design, from road building material selection and
Terminology and Resources
characterisation, road-user (truck and traffic) requirements, through to
Part 3 - Developing Design performance benchmarking and evaluation as a basis for road
Guidelines maintenance management decision making.
Part 4 - Geometric Haul
Road Design Generic These skills will enable participants to evaluate their current haul road
Specifications systems, recognise operational inefficiencies and implement
Part 5 - Haul Road Structural continuous improvement strategies to reduce cost per ton hauled
Design Generic across the mine road network and improve road performance on a
Specifications day-to-day operational basis. The training will provide participants
Part 6 - Haul Road with answers to practical mine haul road-operational issues such as;
Functional Design Generic
Specifications
Part 7 - Haul Road Why are good roads necessary - what are the benefits of an
Maintenance and improved haul road design and infrastructure?
Performance Benchmarking
What critical operational aspects should a road design consider?

How do you translate a design into practical construction
techniques?
When are dust palliatives appropriate - and how do they
influence road management and cost per ton hauled?
How do you benchmark a road design - what do you see, what
does it mean and how do you fix the problem?
