A significant proportion of a mine’s cost is associated with material haulage. Well-designed and managed roads contribute directly to reductions in cycle times, fuel burn, tyre costs, and overall cost per tonne hauled. Critically, they underpin a safe transport system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first comprehensive treatise on mining haul road design, construction, operation, and management, \u003ci\u003eMining Haul Roads – Theory and Practice\u003c\/i\u003e, presents an authoritative compendium of worldwide experience and state-of-the-art practices developed and applied over the last 25 years by the three authors, over three continents and many of the world’s leading surface mining operations.
