01
01 / GEOMETRY
Record the route, not just the distance.
Document gradients, curves, widths, cross slopes, intersections, berms, stopping areas and loading or dumping approaches.
PHX / KNOWLEDGE / MINING_KNOWLEDGE / HAUL_ROAD_ASSESSMENT
Mining KnowledgeHow to assess a surface-mine haul road.
Road geometry, surface condition, drainage, visibility, traffic control and maintenance affect both haulage performance and risk.
A field checklist supports—not replaces—a competent site engineering and safety assessment.
02
02 / SURFACE & WATER
Observe rolling condition and drainage.
Surface material, corrugation, potholes, soft areas, dust, standing water and drainage paths can change over time and by season.
03
03 / VISIBILITY & TRAFFIC
Map interactions and sight limitations.
Consider light vehicles, pedestrians, one-way controls, signage, night operation, blind areas, radio practices and weather.
04
04 / MAINTENANCE
Define inspection triggers and ownership.
A useful assessment identifies who inspects, how defects are graded, what closes a route, and how repairs are verified.
05
05 / DECISION USE
Connect road evidence to fleet decisions.
Use verified road data when evaluating power, braking, tyres, suspension, body configuration, cycle assumptions and operating controls.
