Comprehensive assessment of the hydrodynamic and geomechanical state of the eastern side of PJSC "INGZK" open pit according to prospective mining expanding

The purpose is to study the patterns of groundwater influxe formation within the north-eastern side of the Private Joint-Stock Company “Inhuletskyi hirnycho-zbahachuvalnyi kombinat” (PJSC INHZK) open-pit mine in the conditions of disturbed hydrodynamic regime of the eastern adjacent side of the open-pit mine by the developed three-dimensional geofiltration model. The patterns have been determined of the open-pit mine water influx formation on the basis of a complex analysis of the actual data related to geological and hydrogeological structure of the iron ore deposit, the intensity and character of groundwater influx within the eastern side of the open-pit mine, and the results of numerical simulation of geofiltrational processes. By the results of inverse problems solutions, the geofiltration model reflects adequately the geological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical conditions of the studied territory where the technogenically disturbed hydrodynamic regime have been formed; the calculated values of the open-pit mine water influx within the eastern side of the open-pit mine and its north-eastern site, have been determined. It has been found that the values of groundwater influx and their distribution within the eastern side of the open-pit mine and its north-eastern site depend on the manner of the water-permeable alluvial strata occurrence on the eroded surface of seat clays, and the existence of a technogenic aquifer near the rock-disposal dump base at the adjacent site of the open-pit mine. The results of this research form the basis for a substantiation of technical solutions for dewatering the north-eastern side of the PJSC INHZK open-pit mine in the conditions of further development of mining operations, and for determining the hydrodynamic parameters of dewatering facilities.

The objective set in the research is the following: to develop the methodology and application tools for assessment of the open-pit excavators engineering level when selecting and designing them for specific mining-geological and technical service conditions. To achieve the objective, the methods of statistical data analysis, methods of regression models and of mathematical experimentation building, analysis and synthesis, methods of comprehensive assessment of the engineering level indicators, as well as mathematical modeling and appliance of linear algorithm were used. As a result, there was developed the methodology of comprehensive assessment of engineering level and parameters optimization of open-pit shovel excavators, there was also developed a software package, based on the methodology mentioned above, that allows science-based selection of excavators that possess optimum parameters for the specified conditions.
