SUSTAINABILITY OF INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF GEOTECHNICAL RISK AT DAMANG PIT CUT BACK (DPCB) – A CASE STUDY AT GOLD FIELDS GHANA, DAMANG MINE (2008)

This paper will review some methods used to manage geotechnical risk at Damang Pit Cutback. The pit depth is designed up to 250m with push back on the eastern and western walls of the existed and depleted Railway Cutback (RCB) pit. The geotechnical design was presented by SRK Perth, focussing on the optimisation of the bench face angle which finally evolved with “steep slope strategy”; 24m at 800 and 24m at 750 on the eastern and western walls respectively.
