Open-Pit Mine Haul Roads

Michelin Mining Site Severity Survey


Analyze haul roads and mining site conditions to identify opportunities that can support tire performance, productivity and operational efficiency

 

What Is a Mining Site Severity Survey?


A Michelin Mining Site Severity Survey evaluates haul roads and worksite conditions that can affect tire service life, including road maintenance, rocks, ruts and undulations, drainage, and loading and unloading areas.

Michelin technicians conduct on-site audits to identify conditions that may affect tire performance and recommend improvement measures based on the findings.

Michelin technicians can analyze haul road profiles and vehicle operating conditions to identify opportunities to support site productivity while preserving tire performance and considering the operating limits of equipment and tires.

Haul Road Conditions Analyzed

  • Slopes
  • Elevation
  • Corner radius
  • Other haul road profile characteristics

Vehicle Operating Parameters Analyzed

  • Acceleration
  • Vehicle speeds, including speeds through bends
  • Braking frequency
  • Braking duration
  • Braking harshness


Using specific software connected to GPS, Michelin technicians analyze these conditions and operating parameters to help recommend haul road profile improvements and maximum speeds at various points based on the machines and loads involved.
