Abstract

An engineering geological block model is conceptualized as a framework for the integrated digital model of a deposit. The scope of the article encompasses the methods of import and transformation of data from different sources, implementation of multi-level generalization, selection of scalable control systems for data bases and hybrid storage systems, as well as integration with MGIS, ERP and other information systems via standardized interfaces. It is shown that an engineering geological block model ensures highly accurate modeling, supports analytical and forecasting activities, becomes a single source of actual information on a deposit, and shapes a core of a digital twin of a mine. The engineering geological block model is the key element of digital information, which ensures data consistency, enhanced efficiency and risk reduction at all mining phases.
