During my interaction with the mining industry in India over past few months, I see a renewed interest in the industry in the powerful design and analysis software from Rocscience with the aim of managing the geotechnical challenges that the industry is now realising, more than ever before, particularly in the open-cast mining. Given below is the link to a nicely written article (5-minute read) succinctly sums up the geotechnical challenges offered by the open-cast mining and gives a lowdown on various Rocscience (www.rocscience.com) tools that can help the industry in overcoming these challenges.
