MegaPit

Price with confidence. Prove the plan. Control delivery.

MegaPit is a powerful mining-contractor tendering tool that connects mine planning, resources, costing, simulation, commercial pricing, finance, and delivery control.

The product goal

Build a defensible tender from explicit assumptions, prove that the fleet and schedule can deliver it, compare commercial scenarios, and carry the selected plan into forecasting and operational control.

1-minute product demonstration

Build the tender, prove the assumptions, and control delivery.

A detailed module tour from opportunity and technical solution through resources, simulation, pricing, approval, mobilisation, and controlled contract delivery.

0.28.0

What is new now.

MegaPit v0.28.0 reorganises the complete tender-to-delivery model around five decision gates and six focused workspaces while preserving the established calculations, database, and backup compatibility.

  1. 01

    Five tender gates: Opportunity & basis, Technical solution, Resources & estimate, Price & approval, and Mobilise & control

  2. 02

    Six focused workspaces, including the command centre, with guided next actions that preserve the active project and scenario

  3. 03

    Persistent context tabs and a graphite studio that reduce navigation effort across large tender models

  4. 04

    Orange action cues, cyan context cues, and a compact status strip that make readiness and next decisions easier to scan

  5. 05

    All existing calculations remain intact in a sanitized Windows x64 distribution compatible with established databases and backups

Inside the software

Built around the work, not around generic dashboards.

Complete capability map

One product, three connected responsibilities.

01

Build the tender

Bring the complete mining-contractor cost and delivery model into one governed workspace.

  • Guided tender workflow with completeness scoring, assurance checks, risks, and assumptions governance
  • Projects and scenarios with production, fleet, cost, rate, margin, cash, and schedule-risk comparison
  • Scenario working calendars, excluded dates, predecessor lags, resource pools, schedule validation, and explainable proposed dates
  • Mine levels, production schedules, destinations, haul roads, cycles, and material movement
  • Fleet matching, deployment, equipment libraries, hourly costs, payload, availability, and utilisation
  • Labour, rosters, establishment, closeout, drill-and-blast, and contractor overhead planning
  • Commercial pricing, escalation, contingency, margin, finance, working capital, and reports
  • Nine-workstream tender readiness scoring and a governed assumptions register with evidence, ownership, confidence, and confirmation
02

Prove the plan

Test the fleet and operating assumptions before they become a commercial commitment.

  • Discrete-event haulage simulation for loading, travel, dumping, queues, refuelling, shifts, maintenance, and breakdowns
  • Concurrent operating fronts with loaders, trucks, routes, destinations, payloads, and available volume
  • Fixed allocation, shortest-queue, earliest-loader, and destination-priority dispatch policies
  • Repeatable random seeds, saved replications, auditable event logs, and full-screen playback
  • P50, P80, and P90 production outcomes with ranked lost-time and estimated lost-BCM constraints
  • Scenario comparison, change audit, sensitivity review, and risk-adjusted decision support
  • Working-calendar and resource-overlap checks that keep the planner in control of any recommended programme change
03

Exchange and control

Move governed planning information in and actual performance back to the commercial model.

  • Excel and CSV exchange for equipment, labour, roads, levels, schedules, actuals, and assumptions
  • GeoJSON and ASCII-DXF exchange for points, lines, roads, polygons, and coordinate-system declarations
  • Drill-collar exchange with staging, row validation, approval notes, duplicate detection, and rollback
  • Planning exchange batches with SHA-256 duplicate detection, accepted/warning/rejected staging, approval notes, transactional commit, and rollback
  • Plan-versus-actual production, cost, unit cost, revenue, margin, and fuel-intensity review by month
  • Evidence-based payload, cycle, fuel, availability, and utilisation calibration with confidence, acceptance decisions, and audit history
  • Delivery roadmap, forecasting, actuals import, and complete tender-to-delivery lifecycle guidance
  • Offline local database with backup, restore, scenario deletion, and data-preservation controls

Where it earns its place

Designed for real decisions and accountable handovers.

01Estimator and bid team

Mining tender

Develop the production, fleet, labour, establishment, cost, rate, and finance basis together.

02Planning and operations

Delivery proof

Stress-test haulage, queues, failures, maintenance, and dispatch before committing the offer.

03Management

Commercial control

Compare scenarios, govern assumptions, review risk, and calibrate the plan against actuals.

Deployment and requirements
