Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The investigations carried out by several institutes in the mining industry and the experience acquired by various enterprises have revealed that the use of cyclic-flowline and flowline techniques for earth-rock work makes it possible to increase the rate of production; to increase by a factor of 2–2.5 the productivity of labor over the existing cyclic technique; to reduce the production costs by 20%; to reduce the manpower requirements by a factor of 2–3; to cut sharply the need for truck transport, by replacing it by belt-conveyor transport; to eliminate the need for construction of access roads for delivery of rock by means of dump trucks; to reduce the haul distance for rock, since the belt conveyors can operate at angles of up to 15–16; to construct technically simple crossings for the conveyors across ravines, highways, and different types of engineering structures; to reduce sharply the volume of work for construction of auxiliary enterprises, motor-transport depots, refuelling stations, and maintenance-mechanical shops for motor vehicles; and to reduce the volume of housing and culture-and-welfare construction with the accompanying lower manopower needs.

  2. 2.

    The adoption of belt-conveyor delivery of materials in the construction of embankment dams will make it possible to increase significantly the productivity of labor, to lower the manpower needs, to reduce the requirement for dump trucks, and to reduce the construction costs.
