brief description of the course in Estonian
Kursus toimub välitöö formaadis TalTechi õppejõudude juhendamisel erinevates karjäärides ja kaevandustes. Savi, fosforiidi, lubjakivi, põlevkivi, liiva, kruusa, turba kaevandamine. Maavarade kaevandamine ja kaevandamise eripärad sõltuvalt mäendustingimustest, geoloogiast ja keskkonnast. Kaevandamise mõju keskkonnale ja kuidas on võimalik mõju leevendada. Kasutatavate masinatega lähem tutvumine ja eripärade selgeks tegemine. Kaevise töötlemisega seonduvad lahendused.
brief description of the course in English
The course takes place in a fieldwork format under the guidance of TTalTech lecturers in different careers and mines. Mining of clay, phosphorite, limestone, oil shale, sand, gravel, peat. Mining and mining characteristics depending on mining conditions, geology and environment. Impact of mining on the environment and how the impact can be mitigated. A closer look at the machines used and clarification of the specifics. Excavation processing solutions.
