Introduction
Workflow
Workflow
The process of performing underground mine design described in this tutorial is only one of many different approaches. There is no single set of steps which is generally employed in the process. You may want to start from the top and go down, from the bottom and design up, or start in the middle of the deposit and proceed up and down at the same time. The workflow you adopt will generally be the one which you find best for you. In this tutorial the workflow is as follows:

Underground Design Concepts

Overview To create an underground mine design using Surpac requires an understanding of underground mining terminology and concepts. This section will cover some terms used in this tutorial and some basic concepts of underground mine design.
Requirements Prior to performing the exercises, some experience in underground mine design is helpful, but not required.
Terminology Centreline a line which represents the centre of a drive. The centreline can be used to create solid models, or outlines for plan view plots. Drive a tunnel, or opening in rock, also known as a drift, or crosscut Stope a 3-dimensional area (usually ore) which is to be mined out by blasting a series of long holes or ring design holes
Underground Mine Design Concepts in Surpac There are many different scenarios where underground mine designs are to be created. In this tutorial, you will use: 3D solid models of designed stopes. strings representing ore outlines at each level where a design is to be created. a point representing the location on the surface which is an entrance to the underground mine.
You will open files containing this data into graphics, and then use various editing and point creation tools to create the underground mine design.

Setting the Work Directory
Task: Setting the Work Directory
Setting the Work Directory

A work directory is the default directory for saving Surpac files. Files used in this tutorial are stored in the folder: <installation directory>\demo_data\tutorials\underground_mine_design
where <installation directory> is the directory in which Surpac was installed.
Task: Setting the Work Directory

1. 2. In the Surpac Navigator, right-click the underground_mine_design folder. From the popup menu, select Set as work directory.
The name of the work directory is displayed in the title bar of the Surpac window.

Creating a Centreline Design
Task: Viewing the Data

Overview An underground design begins with the centreline. The creation of a centreline can be performed by many different functions within Surpac, but is basically the creation of three-dimensional points in space.
Requirements Prior to performing the exercises in this chapter, you should have: a basic knowledge of Surpac string files and editing tools, as covered in the Introduction to Surpac manual.

3. 4. Open stopes1.dtm. This file represents two parallel ore zones. Open ugdes_final1.dtm You will be creating a part of the file ugdes_final1.dtm in this tutorial. It consists of a series of three-dimensional solid objects representing an underground mine design.

Task: Creating a Centreline Between Ore Zones

You will now create a centreline midway between the two ore zones at the 200 level.
1. 2.
Click the Reset graphics icon Open lev215.str.
This file represents a small part of the existing workings at the 215 level. String 215 is the outline of the existing workings, and string 1 is the design centreline. The start point of string 1 is the point at which the production crew will begin mining to implement the design. Although mining will begin at this point, you do not have to begin the design at this point. In this case, you will begin the design at the ore zone, and work back to this point. 3. 4. 5. 6. Open stopes1.str. Spin the data around to get an idea of how the strings are formed in 3D space. Choose Display > Strings > With string numbers to display all strings with numbers. Choose Inquire > Point properties, and click several different segments. Notice that the string numbers correspond with the Z value of the strings.
You will now create a design starting from the 200 level up to lev215.str. 7. 8. 9. Choose Display > Hide everything. Choose Display > Strings > With string numbers. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply to display only string 200.

Task: Creating Access Drives to the Ore Zones

You will now create centrelines for these access drives from string 10 to the ore zones.
1. 2.
Click the Design string button on the Status bar at the bottom of the main Surpac window (currently displaying Str = 10). Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
3. 4. 5. 6.
Choose Create > Points > Add point mode. Choose Create > Points > By angle. Click point 2, and then click point 1. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
This is one way of creating a point in string 11 at the same location as point 1 in string 10. Next, you will create the endpoint of the access drive using the same function. 7. Without cancelling the previous function, click point 2, and then click point 1.
Page 15 of 47

Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
This will create a new segment of string 11 that will extend beyond the western ore zone as shown. You will clip this to the edge of the ore zone later.
9.
Choose Create > New segment.
You need to do this between segments so that the end of the first segment is not connected to the beginning of the second segment. 10. 11. 12. Choose Create > Points > By angle. Click point 2, and then click point 1 again. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
Page 16 of 47
13. 14.
Without cancelling the previous function, once again click point 2, and then click point 1. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
You now have two segments of string 11 representing the centreline of ore access drives left and right off the main drive. 15. Choose Display > Hide temporary markers.
You will now copy both segments of this string to points 2, 3, and 4. 16. Using the combobox on the Status Items toolbar, set the snap mode to Point as shown.
17. 18.
Choose Edit > String > Copy. Click string 11 near point 1, and drag to point 2.
Page 17 of 47
Note:
In order to correctly select a string or segment in Surpac, do NOT select a point common to two or more strings. In this case, in order to select string 11, you would not want to position the cursor right on top of point 1, as this point is common to string 10 and string 11, and you could not be certain exactly which string you will select.
19.
A copy of both segments of string 11 will now be created at point 2.
Notice that there are two additional points on string 10 (point 3 and point 4) where you need access drives. You can continue using the String Copy function to create drives for these points. 20. 21. Click string 11 again near point 1, drag to point 3 and release. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.

Task: Creating the Main Decline

Overview You will now create the decline from the access point on the 215 level to the southern end of the main drive between the two ore zones, as illustrated below. The curve numbers given here will be referred to throughout the remainder of this section of the tutorial. Here are the constraints to be used in this design: The gradient from the Access Point to the Start of the Decline will be flat. The gradient from the Start of the Decline to the End of the Decline can be no more than 15% Curve 1 will have a radius of 20 meters. Curves 2 and 3 will have a radius of 30 meters. There must be a 5 meter straight section between curves 2 and 3.
Page 21 of 47
1.
Double click on lev215.str in the Layers pane to make it the active layer.
2.
Choose Display > Strings > With string numbers to display all strings in the layer.
String 215 is the outline of the existing workings, and string 1 is the design centreline. The end of string 1 is the point which our design must tie into the existing workings. For this tutorial, it will be referred to as the "Access Point". Both strings represent the elevation of the floor. You need to know the elevation of the Access Point, and of point 5 on string 10 (labelled as "End of Decline" in the previous design image).
3.
Choose Inquire > Point properties to determine the elevation of the two points. You should see: Elevation of Access Point: 216.98 Elevation of End of Decline: 200.00 This means that you have to travel 16.98 meters vertically to get from the access point to the end of the decline.
You also need to know the bearing of the design centreline (string 1) from lev215.str, and the bearing of string 10 from ugdes1.str. 4. 5. Choose Inquire > Bearing and Distance between two points. Click the end of string 1, then the beginning of string 1. You should see: Bearing = 255.0000 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Press ESCAPE to terminate the function. Zoom out to see the access drives then zoom in to get a good view of points 4 and 5. Choose Inquire > Bearing and Distance between two points. Click point 5, then point 4 on string 10 in ugdes1.str. Press ESCAPE to terminate the function. You should get something like: Bearing = 334.3332
Page 22 of 47
You can calculate that the angular travel to get from the first bearing to the second bearing is: 334.3332 - 255.0000 = 79.3332 degrees One of the design constraints is that you want the gradient from the Access Point to the Start of the Decline to be flat. So you will make curve 2 rotate through 79.3332 degrees, and curve 3 rotate through 90 degrees. You could construct this curve, grade it to 15%, and then determine how much you need to move it. Alternatively, you could do all of the calculations by hand and construct the curve in the correct location. In this example, you will create the curve first, and then move it.
11. 12. 13.
Set the main graphics layer as the current layer. Choose Create > Points > Add points mode. Set the snap mode to No Snap.
14.
Set the Design string as 10 and leave the Design gradient set to zero percent.
15. 16.
Choose Display > Point > Numbers. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
17. 18.
Choose Display > Point > Markers. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
Page 23 of 47
19. 20. 21.
Choose Create > Curve at segment end. Click point 4, and then point 5. Enter the data as shown, and then click Apply.
22.
Press ESCAPE to terminate the function. You now need to join the straight section with the curve.
23. 24. 25. 26. 27.
Zoom in so that you can see the points clearly. Choose Edit > Segment > Join. Zoom in so that you can see the points clearly. Click point 5, and then point 7. Press ESCAPE to terminate the function. Since the bearing of the main drive between the ore zones was 334.3332, you will construct the 5 meter straight section at a bearing 90 degrees less than that, or 244.3332.
28. 29.
Choose Create > Points > By bearing. Click the end of the newly created curve.
Page 24 of 47
30.
A single point will be created, adding onto the existing segment of string 10. 31. 32. 33. Choose Create > Curve at segment end. Click point 21, and then point 22. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
Notice that the direction of the curve is anticlockwise. 34. 35. Press ESCAPE to terminate the input. Choose Display > Hide temporary markers.
Page 25 of 47
You should see the following curve:
You will now grade the segment, and determine the elevation of point 36, at the end of the decline curve. 36. 37. 38. Choose Edit > Segment > Change gradient. Click point 5, and then point 36. Enter the following information, and then click Apply.
39. 40.
Choose Inquire > Point properties. Click point 36. You should see something like: Z=214.049 Recall that the elevation of the Access Point is 216.98 meters. This means that the amount of vertical distance yet to travel is 216.98 - 214.049 = 2.931 meters This translates to a horizontal distance of 2.931 / 0.15 = 19.54 meters.
Page 26 of 47
You could append this onto the southern end of curve 2, but to illustrate another couple of tools, you will instead move both curves 2 and 3 at a bearing of 334.3332 degrees by a distance of 19.54 meters, and then regrade the segment. To do this, you first need to break the curves away from the main drive.
41. 42. 43. 44. 45.
Choose Edit > Segment > Break. Click the segment between points 5 and 6. Choose Edit > Move segment constrained by > Bearing and distance. Click the segment with the two curves. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
You should see the segment moved at a bearing of 154.3332 by 19.54 meters:
You will now reconnect and regrade the curves. 46. 47. 48. 49. Choose Edit > Segment > Join. Click the main drive first (at point 5), and then click the curves (at point 7). Choose Edit > Segment > Change gradient. Click point 5, and then click point 36.
Page 27 of 47
50.
51. 52.
Choose Inquire > Point properties. Click point 36 (i.e. the southern end of curve 2). You should see something like: Z=216.979 Recall that the elevation of the Access Point is 216.98. So the southern end of curve 2 is now at the same elevation as the Access Point. Knowing that the bearing of the centreline of the Access Point is 255.0000, the bearing of a line perpendicular to the centreline of the Access Point (as well as being tangent to the last point on curve 2) will be 90 degrees less than that, or 165 degrees. You will now employ a couple of other tools to create curve 1.
53. 54. 55.
Choose Create > Points > By bearing. Click point 36 (i.e. the southern end of curve 2). Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
Page 28 of 47
A new point will now be created much further south than required:
56.
Press ESCAPE to terminate the function.
You will now move this point (number 37) to the location where it will be in line with both the line just created, and with the centreline of the Access Point. 57. 58. 59. Choose Create > Points > Point mode. Choose Create > Points > At intersection of two lines. Click point 37, and then click point 36.
It is important to select 37 first, as the first point selected will be moved.
Note:
60.
Next, click both of the endpoints of the centreline of lev215.str (i.e. string 1).
You may need to use the Assist key (F1) to allow you to zoom in on lev215.str so that you select the correct points. It does not matter which end you select first for this string, point 37 will still be moved to the correct position as shown.
Note:

As a final step, you will calculate the volume of material that would need to be extracted to create the underground mine from our design.
1. 2.
Choose Solids > Solids tools > Report volume of solids. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
A report named ugdes_drive_volume1.not is produced. The report will provide volumes for the centreline with the 4x3.5m profile and for the individual volumes of each of the 3x3m access drives. Note that in this case the drives are overlapping and so the total volume will not be an accurate reflection of the whole geometry.
If you want to see all of the steps performed in this chapter, run: _05c_drive_volume.tcl
