mailto:Emai:[email protected]



This course covers the principles of maintenance of mining equipment and the design and operation of mine services, including electrical and compressed air distribution systems, mine dewatering systems and mine communication systems. It covers the design of maintenance systems, including preventive, predictive, proactive and corrective maintenance methods, as well as basic reliability theory and models for optimising maintenance decisions.

Assumed Background This course assumes that students have a good understanding of mining terms and descriptions, have been exposed to surface and underground mining methods and are familiar with mining development, operations and production. The completion of the Mining Systems course is hence assumed.



Content

Mine maintenance and services are responsible for between 40 and 70 percent of the operating cost of a surface mine, and 20 to 50 percent of the operating cost of an underground mine. The quality of maintenance programs affects the productive capacity of mining operations. In the course of their professional careers, Mining Engineers will find themselves dealing with maintenance and service related issues such as: working with teams to de-bottleneck productive processes; preparing and checking maintenance budgets; administrating maintenance contracts; and deciding on mine dewatering or electrical distribution layouts. The proposed course covers the principles of mine maintenance and services, including electrical and compressed air distribution, mine dewatering and mine communications. It covers the design of maintenance systems, including preventive, predictive, proactive and corrective maintenance methods, as well as basic reliability theory and models for optimising maintenance decisions. Specific topics to be covered include: PART 1 Mine Maintenance Management

a. Physical Assets The purpose of physical assets Performance requirements

The life cycle of physical assets Value through asset management

All correspondence with students will be achieved using the internet mail facility within Moodle. Changes in the lecture schedule and assignment dates will be posted on the calendar in Moodle. Most of the reference books are available in the UNSW Library. Academic Honesty and Plagiarism The University has certain expectations in terms of academic behaviour related to study and research. This is expressed in the University Policy on Academic Misconduct. Students should be aware of and understand this Policy. Links to this and other University and School Policies can be found at http://www.mining.unsw.edu.au/Governance/policies.htm. Plagiarism is the presentation of the thoughts or work of another as one’s own1. Examples include:

direct duplication of the thoughts or work of another, including by copying work, or knowingly permitting it to be copied. This includes copying material, ideas or concepts from a book, article, report or other written document (whether published or unpublished), composition, artwork, design, drawing, circuitry, computer program or software, web site, Internet, other electronic resource, or another person’s assignment without appropriate acknowledgement;

paraphrasing another person’s work with very minor changes keeping the meaning, form and/or progression of ideas of the original;

piecing together sections of the work of others into a new whole;

presenting an assessment item as independent work when it has been produced in whole or part in collusion with other people, for example, another student or a tutor; and,

claiming credit for a proportion a work contributed to a group assessment item that is greater than that actually contributed2.

Submitting an assessment item that has already been submitted for academic credit elsewhere may also be considered plagiarism. The inclusion of the thoughts or work of another with attribution appropriate to the academic discipline does not amount to plagiarism. Students are reminded of their Rights and Responsibilities in respect of plagiarism, as set out in the University Undergraduate and Postgraduate Handbooks, and are encouraged to seek advice from academic staff whenever necessary to ensure they avoid plagiarism in all its forms. The Learning Centre website is the central University online resource for staff and student information on plagiarism and academic honesty. It can be located at www.lc.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism The Learning Centre also provides substantial educational written materials, workshops, and tutorials to aid students, for example, in:

correct referencing practices;

paraphrasing, summarising, essay writing, and time management;

appropriate use of and attribution for, a range of materials including text, images, formulae and concepts.

Individual assistance is available on request from The Learning Centre. Students are also reminded that careful time management is an important part of study and one of the identified causes of plagiarism is poor time management. Students should allow sufficient time for research, drafting, and the proper referencing of sources in preparing all assessment items. Continual Course Improvement Periodically student evaluative feedback on the course is gathered, using among other means, UNSW's Course and Teaching Evaluation and Improvement (CATEI) Process which is an anonymous, on-line survey system. Student feedback is taken seriously, and continual improvements are made to the course based in part on such feedback. Significant changes to the course will be communicated to subsequent cohorts of students taking the course. Correspondence and Email Messages A policy of the University is that it expects students will regularly check their email accounts. The School assists in this by providing free access to computing facilities and the internet. In line with this policy, messages will be sent to students through their Moodle account. Students can retrieve these messages from the mailbox in each Moodle course account.
