GEOVIA Surpac 2026 training applied to mine planning

Training connected to the reality of each operation

CCM Engenharia, in partnership with Dassault Systèmes, delivered GEOVIA Surpac 2026 training for teams from Massari Fértil and Morro Verde Fertilizantes. The focus was applying the software to the mine-planning processes of the participating operations.

Pedro Gribauskas Murça also contributed to the organization. The practical approach connected Surpac resources with the needs of the people who prepare, review and use planning information every day.

The role of Surpac in mine planning

GEOVIA Surpac provides tools for working with geological data, surfaces, solids, models and mine geometries. In planning, this information helps represent the deposit and transform technical assumptions into alternatives that can be measured and compared.

The software does not decide the best sequence by itself. It provides an environment for organizing data, running workflows and visualizing results. Final quality still depends on a reliable database, well-defined criteria and professionals capable of interpreting what the model shows — and what it cannot yet show.

Why practical training creates more value

General training helps users learn menus and commands, but operational value appears when the team connects each tool to a real decision. Working with examples close to daily routines makes it easier to understand task sequences, required controls and the points where an input error can compromise the result.

• Organization and validation of the data used in planning
• Construction and review of geometries and surfaces
• Standardization of recurring team workflows
• Visual and quantitative comparison of alternatives
• Documentation of assumptions to facilitate review and auditing

Software, process and team must evolve together

Deploying a new version without reviewing the process may simply accelerate old practices. Before automating, it is important to know which data enters the workflow, who validates it, what result is expected and how the plan will be updated when new information becomes available.

Training creates a common language among users. It reduces dependence on individual routines, improves communication among geology, planning and operations, and allows scenarios to be reproduced by more than one person.

What to evaluate after training

Success should not be measured only by course completion. In the following weeks, the company can check whether workflows have become more consistent, files are standardized, reviews take less time and results support decisions more clearly.

CCMENG's mine-planning consulting integrates digital tools, deposit knowledge and operational objectives. When technology and method move together, the model stops being merely a graphic representation and begins to support traceable decisions.
