AMEC has chosen to increase its use of Maptek Vulcan software for mine planning and mine design applications.
The international engineering and project management company services the world's energy, power and process industries.
AMEC says that Vulcan is a proven 3D geological modelling and mine planning package which remains at the forefront of innovation in mining technology solutions.
The company claims that a key reason for selecting Vulcan as one of its software programs of choice is the flexibility of the package for assessing deposits for the optimal mining scenario. Whether open pit or underground mining, Vulcan fits the bill.
The group claims another driver for choosing the system is that many of its clients are asking for Vulcan.
Vulcan is instrumental in resource estimation and underground mine planning applications including survey, geological modelling, drill & blast, grade control and geostatistical tasks.
AMEC says that Vulcan builds a common platform between technical design and planning teams, and allows 3D models to be shared with management and stakeholders.
