PS Stockpile Chunks
- Daniel Narayan (Unlicensed)
Stockpiles are composed of chunks. Each chunk has a capacity, and acts as a bucket into which all dumped material is homogeneously mixed. Once they are full, chunks are then reclaimed as a single parcel.
Chunk Templates
Each stockpile has a chunk template, which defines how many chunks are in the stockpile, and how they behave.
For ‘Defined’ type, the stockpile capacity is the sum of the chunk sizes.
For ‘Automatic’ type, the total capacity is entered at the Stockpiles step (next)
Stockpile chunks example.
To add a Defined Chunk Template:
In the left side panel, use the blue plus icon to add a new chunk template.
Change the Template Name to ‘MyTemplate’.
Set the Capacity Field to ‘wetTonnes’.
In the right side panel, use the blue plus icon to add chunks to the template.
For each chunk:
Optionally enter a name (use this if the stockpile has named lifts).
Enter a chunk size.
In the Accepted Parcels dropdown, select a Parcel Subset to filter what materials can be dumped in this chunk.
In the Reclaimed Parcel dropdown, select a Parcel name to assign to the final blend.
The ‘Total Capacity’ column displays the stockpile size (the sum of chunk sizes).
To add an Automatic Chunk Template:
In the left side panel, use the blue plus icon to add a new chunk template.
Change the Template Name to ‘MyTemplate’.
Set the Capacity Field to ‘wetTonnes’.
In the right side panel:
Enter the total Number of Chunks
In the Accepted Parcels dropdown, select a Parcel Subset to filter what materials can be dumped in this chunk.
In the Reclaimed Parcel dropdown, select a Parcel name to assign to the final blend.
Custom reclaim parcel names (such as ‘blend’) can be added in Parcels.
