Road Alerts

Motor graders, water trucks and other equipment use fuel and other resources so they must be used correctly to ensure costs are not increased.

Roads are a vital asset of the mine, and if they are corroded, they will negatively affect the performance of equipment and the number of tons moved in the mine.

Poorly maintained roads damage tires. As a result, trucks and other equipment need to use more fuel in order to perform evasive maneuvers. Spills, as well, become recurrent.

Adequate road condition can increase operational hours of tires, decrease fuel consumption and increase overall equipment life.

When maintenance equipment is dispatched according to real-time reports on what is needed, field inspections are reduced, allowing key users to focus in more important tasks.

Better roads mean fewer bumps and accidents. Operators can focus on transporting minerals across the mine instead of worrying that a spillage may affect the trip.
