MINE PLANNING BASICS FRIDAY – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BERM AND BENCH??
My kind associate Kenn Smart allowed me to use this graphic from his collection of BASICS of EARTHMOVING booklets. Note how the definitions change from the final pit outline to the active pit outline... And to complicate matters even further, the safety berm also comes into play... Comments most welcome. Enjoy your Friday friends!
