Peter Stacey - Meet the Open Pit Slope Design Expert Live

Summary This course presents an overview of design and management of slopes in open pit mines. It covers the information required to support a slope design, methods of data collection, and design procedures for bench configurations, inter-ramp slopes and overall slopes. Specific examples of design will be presented and discussed in the class to illustrate the factors that affect pit slope stability. Designs will be discussed in terms of both mine operating procedures and optimization of pit slope stability. The aspects of risk associated with pit slope design and excavation will be presented, together with monitoring methods for pit slopes and other management procedures.

About the Author Peter Stacey, P.Eng., has over 40 years' experience in the various aspects of pit slope and mining geotechnical design, project management and review. He has worked for the Geological Survey of Sweden, Iron Ore Company of Canada, and Golder Associates and has a reputation as a world expert in the areas of pit slope design and the application of geotechnical engineering to the operational aspects of open pit mines. He has also acted in a project management capacity for large scale mining geotechnical programs on projects around the world, including Canada, Kyrgyzstan, Peru, China and Tasmania. He currently focuses on independent review consulting related to the geotechnical aspects of open pit mining.

Who Should Attend? Attendees should include persons with expertise in specific areas of the mining industry who need to interface to the broader spectrum of the business, or those requiring a refresher in their field. For those with limited or no technical background, the course will provide a more than basic introduction to open pit mining, enabling the attendee to ask the right questions and make informed decisions. Participants should have a basic grounding in rock mechanics (undergraduate courses) and experience in open pit operations.
