"Up to the launch of the book, various aspects of this interesting field were covered in technical publications addressing specific topics. The book now combines all these into one publication that deals comprehensively with the design, operation and maintenance of haul roads in a very practical manner […] and is a must for the design engineer, contractor and mine operator.I couldn't have asked for more than this."



Dr Pierre van der Berg, Pr Eng, CEO, Jones & Wagener, Civil Engineer



"This is a very valuable, and long overdue, resource […] Across the globe, mining roads are being constructed without a sound technical, research-based, approach proposed by this book. The book could encourage uniformity and standardization of practices in various countries. It has a potential of becoming a valuable resource for improving cost-efficiency, productivity and safety on mining operations across the globe. "



Damir Vagaja, Principal Consultant, RTSM Consulting, Australia



"This book is the most definitive treatise on mining haul roads ever written […] There has never been a text that addresses the many facets of mining haul roads on such a scope […]”



From the Foreword by Jim Humphrey, Professional Engineer, Autonomous haulage systems developer and Distinguished Member of the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration



"Mining Haul Roads, Theory and Practice is the most forthright, innovative, operational focused guide for haul road design and maintenance, since the advent of haul road design practices [...].
It is time to retire all former haul road design guidelines. There is now only one ‘go to’ reference for haul road design.
This inspirational mechanistic haul road design work of Roger Thompson and Alex Visser of the past 20 years is now enhanced yet further with the addition of simple field evaluative function design and road management considerations clearly illustrated through well thought out field case studies, that put for the first time a complete haul road ownership picture into context. In focus chapters 3, 4 and 5 are essential reading, comprehension and application for any surface mining engineer worth their salt! "
