Deswik UNO: Strategic Development Design in Less Than An Hour

How long do you think it would take one to design level footwall accesses, crosscuts, and ramp access for a 6-level orebody? This video walks through the rapid design tool available in #Deswik called #UNO (underground network optimizer). With parameters clearly defined, this tool takes less than 10 minutes to complete both planar and decline design. For both tools, access points are key to govern the design; in the decline tool, it is important to understand how bearing and opposite bearing setting affects the design outcome. Sometimes it takes a bit trial and error, but it’s well worth the time and effort to understand how this tool could drastically improve design efficiency. #strategicmineplanning
