Pit Geometry

Pit geometry refers to the study of the shape and structure of pits, typically in the context of mining or excavation. It involves analyzing how the pit is formed, its depth, width, and the slope of its walls. Understanding pit geometry is crucial for safe and efficient mining operations, as it influences factors like stability, drainage, and access to resources. Proper design ensures that the excavation can be safely navigated and minimizes risks such as landslides or equipment failure, ultimately affecting both productivity and safety in extracting minerals or materials from the earth.
