Bench Structural Integrity Modeling of Oil Sands for Optimum Cable Shovel Performance

The ultimate bearing capacity of bench and haul road formations are essential for the health and longevity of shovel crawlers. In soft saturated formations (especially in the Athabasca oil sands formation), heavy machines have been known to sink, resulting in production losses and high operating costs. Companies have solved these problems by wideni... Read More»
