Geology & Mining Workflows

RQD, rock-mass rating, stripping-ratio and mine-planning workflows with explicit engineering limits.

How to use these engineering workflows

Choose the checklist that matches the project decision, enter measurements into each linked calculator, and record the assumptions before moving to the next step.

  • Use compatible units and confirm each calculator's stated operating range.
  • Apply each scope-limited calculation only within its published assumptions and operating limits.
  • Use results for procurement or safety decisions only after project-specific validation by a qualified professional.
