Three dimensional modelling (3D) and geographical information systems (GIS) applications in mining plants planning

Thesis content is equipped with computer applications of present day mining studies. Data is given that is about map information, geostatistics, geographical information systems, three dimensional modelling, applications are done with Netcad and Surpac programmes. Formation methods of applications and application steps are shown visually. Data of map is adapted to current coordinate system then steps of manufacturing preparation map are evaluated. A topographic map is digitized then converted into three dimensional status, slope and bench formation studies are performed. Calculation of formed areas and volumes is done, three dimensional block model designs are studied and reporting is done with respect to current analysis results and fixed constraints. Keywords: Three dimensional modelling, Netcad, Surpac, GIS, reserve calculation, preparation of manufacturing map, drawing of glacis, geostatistics, map information
