- Open Pit Mining
- Transportation
Assess and locate large and small-scale failures across the benches of an open pit as part of optimal pit design, safety planning and risk mitigation during the design and operational stages.
Geological hazard assessment of the stability of rock slopes adjacent to or overlying civil infrastructure such as roads, highways, railways, and bridges. Apply slope stabilization measures by modeling the effects of rock reinforcements and drainage.
Import joint orientations from Dips. If data is measured and recorded along boreholes or scanlines, you can import the orientation and location of individual planes. If joint sets exist, then set statistics of mean dip and dip direction and Fisher K can be used define synthetic joint set orientation distributions.
Import geometry, properties, and joints from SWedge to fully define the model.
Import geometry, material properties, groundwater conditions, bolts, and search limits directly from Slide3. Add joints to complete the model.
Import geometry, material properties, joints and joint properties, groundwater conditions, and bolts directly from RS3 to fully define the model.

Block Information
Display a listing of all block results including information about geometric removability, factor of safety, weight, volume, driving and resisting forces, sliding direction, failure mode, required support pressure, and failure depth. You can filter and export this information as a CSV file.
-
Block Limits
Focus on critical regions of your model by adding volumetric limits as any combination of inclusion and/or exclusion zones for the computation of blocks along portions of the slope.
-
Key Block Analysis
Identify key blocks which control potential large-scale failures of the slope and simulate the successive unraveling of the slope as key blocks fail and are detached.
