Advances With Large Rotary Blasthole Drills
Blasthole drilling is one aspect of open- pit mining that engineers identified long ago as a promising area for autonomous operations. Unlike haulage and loading operations, which are much more dynamic and complex with several pieces of equipment interacting in a 3-D environnent, drilling a blasthole pattern on a bench is a very repetitive process. Over time, the task has evolved from automat- ed drilling operations to hole location via GPS to teleremote operations to today's autonomous operations. Much of the advances in autonomous mining operations are taking place among iron operations in the Pilbara in Western Australia. Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have been investing a significant amount of money in automating operations in an effort to improve safety, reduce costs and improve the quality of life for their miners. During June, Atlas Copco announced that BHP had purchased 18 autonomous upgrade packages for their large rotary blasthole drills operating in the Pilbara.
