Mine Design engineering guidelines ask and answer the key questions:  

1. If truck haulage is considered, are the ramps designed to accommodate truck haulage? 
2. Can they be loaded and have adequate turning and dumping areas or are additional excavations required? 
3. What distance must equipment travel for repairs and refuelling?
