Rolling resistance is one of the major components of the total resistance against
truck movement.
Above 1 and 4 are negligible with level surface and low wind speeds, while above 3
is considered to be similar for both pre and post ground improvement situations.
Considering RR to be the significant component, the calculated resistance against
truck movement was considered as rolling resistance.
An equivalent saving in CO2 emissions is also realised and this is possibly a more
meaningful result given the climate debate. A 4-6% CO2 reduction for haul road
traffic is considerable as this traffic accounts for a sizeable percentage of mine
emissions
For every litre of combusted diesel there are 2.7Kg of CO2 produced and an additional
0.783Kg of CO2 is produced in the manufacture of every litre of that diesel
A typical haul truck will burn approx 300,000 litres of fuel a year so a saving of 5% in
fuel and also CO2 emissions equates to a net yearly CO2 saving of 52,245Kg for each
truck. This is substantial and measurable
Water & Dust
Still further savings can be achieved if the treated area is managed for reduced
dust emissions thus delivering extended wear course durability and considerable
reductions in water usage for dust control (as much as 90%)
Roads and work areas managed properly for dust control are cost negative
Machinery & Costs
Standard construction plant can be utilised for 90% of the ground improvement
work requirements eliminating the need for complicated and expensive stabilising
machines and spreader trucks
Improvement of in-situ material means less trucking of material to site and less
machinery on site for removal and replacement or capping tasks
Stronger and more durable roads and work area require less machinery less often
for maintenance work and less trucks for watering of roads
Dollar value of fuel savings of 5% per haul truck based on rolling resistance reductions
$16,500/annum - at a fuel price of $1.10/litre
SEALS Group - Client Site Assistance
Site assessment including roads, ramps, pits, dumps and access areas
SEALS Group will deliver improved strength and water resistance to roads and wear
courses
We will deliver measurable and provable reductions in diesel use, CO2 emissions, water
use and dust emissions
Additional improvements to operator conditions, tyre wear, chassis and engine damage
are follow-ons from vastly improved roads and management of these areas
PolyCom stabilising aid is not magic but it’s a very handy tool. It’s use coupled with good
old fashioned know how and the education of operators and key staff provides a further
‘small step’ advancement which goes a long way to improving how we do things -
financially, socially and environmentally
