The expansion of open pit coal mines, nickel mines and other mines such as tin, copper and gold have been playing important role in contributing to the high demand for coal and metals.

The key success of these operations would never have been achieved without the role of geotechnical engineers who have always been concerned with the slope stability both in the active and non active areas within the open pit mine operations.

Geotechnical Assessment is a fundamental requirement for the design of a mine support system. A good, solid understanding of Geotechnical Assessment for Open Pit Mines in Tropical Countries can be the difference between an effective or challenging mine as it grapples with potential project delays and reduced cost savings, especially when you do not have a full understanding of the geotechnical aspects needed to design and run an open pit mine.

This course will focus on the following topics:

• Understanding the basic aspect of rock engineering in open pit mines and slope stability principles
• Focusing on basic intact rock and rock mass characterizations with case studies from Indonesian operations
• Spotlighting on the effects of erosion and weathering to the deterioration of rock properties
• Effective analysis on slope stability, design and modelling
• Effective and efficient slope monitoring to ensure the slope will always be stable in the course of open pit operations
• Understanding safety practices in areas adjacent to active slopes.

This course is designed for the following group of professionals who would want to increase the success of their mines through effective geotechnical l knowledge during the planning and design stage, including:

• Mine Managers
• Pit Managers
• Geotechnical Managers
• Geotechnical Engineers
• Head of Planning
• Mine Engineers
• Geotechnical Managers
• Geotechnical Engineers
• Geotechnical Engineering Superintendent
• Mining Superintendent
• Head of Engineering
• Head of Geology
• Geology Superintendent
• Mine Support Manager
• Mine Support Engineer
