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.
