A preliminary evaluation of a hydraulic mechanical splitter as a means of breaking rock in a deep-level mine

De Graaf, Wolter Willem (University of Pretoria, 2018)

Conventional drill-and-blast practice in deep-level hard rock mining impacts negatively on the immediate environment and alternatives are frequently sought for efficient, continuous, automated and safe rock breaking. The ...
Developing a concept that can be used to quantify the motion of flyrock, with the intention of eventually producing a measuring tool for future flyrock research.

Van der Walt, Jennifer (University of Pretoria, 2019)

Flyrock remains a significant risk to the health and safety of the mine’s employees and infrastructure as well as the safety of the neighbouring communities and their property. Losses and damages can result in significant ...
An Investigation into Using Remotely Piloted Aircraft System Technology for Decision Making Regarding Block Lifecycle Activities in Surface Mining

Bester, Alton Wynand (University of Pretoria, 2018)

The process of mining is about executing a few, seemingly easy, routine activities with consistency and precision over an extended period of time. The research that has been conducted during the course of this study has ...
