Life-of-Mine Ventilation Planning

Life-of-Mine Ventilation Planning- MAINTENANCE, ENGINEERING AND RELIABILITY

Overview:  A framework for ventilation planning, with a focus on planning to the end-of-mine life, was developed for the Diavik Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories. This framework was successfully used by Diavik’s mine engineers to select a cost-effective ventilation plan that met the life-of-mine requirements. The framework achieved this result by reconciling the production plan with the ventilation plan. A set of
design acceptability criteria was created and a PICK (possible, implement, challenge, kill) chart was used to quickly narrow down the enerated ideas for detailed assessment and economic analysis. Click here for the full copy of this interesting paper.
