Bench Design

Bench Design is a sub-discipline of surface mine design that specifies the geometry and geotechnical configuration of individual mining benches—including their height, width, face angle, and spatial arrangement—to achieve required slope stability, safety, and operational efficiency in an open pit or quarry.
