Method for determining and evaluating removal methods and device for carrying out said method

Abstract

In a method for determining and evaluating the most favorable mining process during the driving of tracks or tunnels, rock parameters such as the cube compressive strength, tenacity and brittleness are determined and stored in quantifiable form in a first method step. After this, environment-specific parameters such as ventilation, dedusting and rock securement parameters like the introduction of local concrete or the setting of anchors are determined and stored, whereupon operation-related costs such as availability, downtimes, time inputs, investment costs as well as expenditures involved in the logistics of different operating processes are queried in a further method step, whereby different mining processes are calculated and compared with one another as a function of the rock parameters while taking into account the environment-specific parameters, the rock securement parameters and the parameters relevant to operation cost structures.
