BHP Engineering have been able to develop and refine the design of haul roads using long term site experience. Many standard design practices have been reassessed and modified to give more appropriate and cost effective road pavements and geometry. This paper describes the cost advantage obtained, haul road planning, the design of haul road speed and grade, superelevation, pavements, and drainage.
