Lunch and Learn session on Bulk Dozer Push Productivity. Presented by Ted Boulton at MEC Brisbane, 19 March 2015.
There are many career paths open to graduate mining engineers. It can be difficult to decide where your experience, personality and skills fit in best. Becoming a mining consultant can be a highly rewarding career.
Good communication skills, flexibility, business acumen and technical expertise are just some of the requirements of a good mining consultant.
MEC showcased their business offering at the 8th annual Mines and Money Hong Kong conference last month. The exhibition attracts stakeholders from all stages of the mining cycle, which makes it the perfect place for MEC to do what we do best: build relationships.
Bulk dozer push is applicable to a range of situations and can be applied in flat dip strip mines and steep dip mines using apparent dip stripping. Bulk dozer push uses the void created by coal mining to move material to spoil cheaply. Generally, dozer push is applicable to spoil up to 60m above the basal seam, with prestrip applied to the upper waste as the depth to coal increases.
