Dragline is one of the crucial heavy earth moving machines (HEMM) which is used in opencast mine. It has significant role in opencast mine to improve the overall production and remove the overburden; performance of dragline depends on the reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) of the subsystems.
Read moreAs the mines are growing bigger the need for the advancement has also increased. The computer aided mine planning and design techniques have come as an advantage for mining industry. This project aims to exhibit the implementation of computer aided mine planning and design techniques in mining industry which gives more accuracy and reliability of …

Read moreThe Successive Alkalinity Producing System (SAPS) is widely accepted for the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD). The effectiveness of SAPS depends upon many parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT), influent quality, characteristics of organic substrate and their design aspects etc. In this laboratory SAPS column study, four synthetic AMD solutions were treated for …
Read moreDragline is the most widely used machine in opencast mining. It is used for removal of overburden in coal mining. During the digging process machine experiences various loadings on its front end structure, which typically consist of boom, bucket and wire ropes. These loads tend to develop stresses in each cycle of the dragline and …
