Opencast Mining

  1. Scope of Services
    For over sixty years, Poltegor-projekt sp. z o.o. has been specializing in providing studies, engineering, mine planning, designing and consulting for opencast mining of lignite, coal chemical minerals, industrial minerals and back filling sands as well as quarrying and minerals treatment. The comprehensive studies and designs cover management of the whole mining basins and/or single operations as well. The services cover also geological reports, assessments and evaluation of reserves, as well as geomechanics and slopes stability together with recommended protection measures.2. An offer:
  • studies on mineral deposits and mining regions development
  • minerals resources estimation
  • prefeasibility and feasibility reports
  • expert opinions
  • geological reports
  • geomechanical analyses and slopes stability
  • preliminary and detail mine operations planning

also engineers’ supervision and commissioning of projects.

3. Executive Potential

All above mentioned services are provided by the mining team including geologists, mining engineers, geomechanical engineers with many years of experience working on different projects. For multidisciplinary studies and reports, also other experts join the teams. The mining department has suitable computers and workstations. All maps, layouts, calculations and planning are done using MOSS DataMine, Intergraph i/Mine, MicroStation, Minescape, AutoCad, Winmx software, etc.
