Bench Design Parameters

Bench Design Parameters MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate optimal open-pit bench geometry including height, width, and inter-ramp angles.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for open-pit mine engineers to design safe and efficient bench geometries. Use get_bench_height to determine vertical limits based on rock stability, calculate_bench_width to ensure equipment clearance and rock catchment, and estimate_inter_ramp_angle to calculate overall pit wall slopes. The validate_design_compliance tool ensures all parameters meet safety standards for specific rock types and equipment dimensions.

What is the recommended bench height for Hard-Rock with large-scale equipment?

The recommended bench height for Hard-Rock with large-scale equipment is 15 meters, with a maximum allowable height of 18 meters.

Calculate the required bench width for a 6-meter wide machine in Sedimentary rock.

The total required bench width is 12.5 meters, which includes a 9.0 meter working width and a 3.5 meter safety berm.

Is a design with 12m height and 10m width compliant for Weathered rock and a 5m wide machine?

No, the design is non-compliant because the height exceeds the stability limits for Weathered rock.

Rock type dictates stability. For example, using `get_bench_height` with 'Hard-Rock' will yield different results than 'Weathered' rock because harder rock supports steeper, higher benches.
