Haul road monitoring resources for mine teams
Written for mine services teams, planners, mining engineers and technical services teams who plan and review haul road maintenance.
Guides explain how road condition data and grader activity monitoring are used in practice. Case studies show field examples from mine sites.
Proof Engineers monitors haul road condition and grader activity so teams can prioritise maintenance with objective data.
Solutions
Two systems used across the guides and case studies on this page.
Road Condition Monitoring (RCM)
Measures haul road condition and helps mine services and planning teams prioritise maintenance using objective road condition data.
View RCM →Grader Performance Monitoring (GPM)
Distinguishes productive grading and working activity from travelling and idle activity, so teams can review how graders spend their time.
View GPM →Case Studies
Field outcomes and project examples from mine sites using Road Condition Monitoring and Grader Performance Monitoring. These case studies show how teams applied road condition data and grader activity monitoring to improve haul road maintenance and operational performance.
Grader Productivity Optimisation - Hunter Valley Coal Mine
Hunter Valley Coal Mine case study: +122.7% grader productivity with GPM. Real-time blade-down data replaced engine-hour metrics.

Guides covering haul road condition monitoring, road condition data, grader performance and maintenance planning for mine services teams, maintenance planners, superintendents and engineering teams.
What Is Haul Road Condition Monitoring?
A clear definition of haul road condition monitoring: what it measures, what the site sees, and what it does not replace.
Read guide →Road Condition Monitoring vs Manual Inspections
A practical comparison of manual haul road inspections and Road Condition Monitoring, and when to use both in the same maintenance process.
Read guide →How Grader Performance Monitoring Improves Haul Road Maintenance
How mine teams use grader telemetry to review maintenance execution: where graders worked, whether priority roads were reached, and whether condition improved afterwards.
Read guide →How to Use Road Condition Data to Prioritise Haul Road Maintenance
A practical workflow for turning road condition data into maintenance priorities: detect, compare, prioritise, allocate, then verify.
Read guide →What Is Road Score in Mine Road Monitoring?
What Road Score is, how mine teams interpret it over time, and why it is not a universal industry road standard.
Read guide →Grader Performance Monitoring: Why Engine Hours Are Not Enough
Why engine hours can overstate grader utilisation, how blade-down monitoring measures productive grading, and how RCM integration shows whether graders worked where maintenance was required.
Read guide →How Haul Road Roughness and Rolling Resistance Affect Cycle Time and Tyre Wear
How rough haul roads raise rolling resistance, slow truck cycles and wear tyres, and how condition heat maps and Road Score help mine teams prioritise maintenance.
