Abstract: The objective of the paper is to demonstrate a cost efficiency assessment methodology adapted to a major integrated mining and transport project. The sources of social and economic efficiency of the project to use overburden dumps for the needs of transport construction in the areas of new development are stated in the article. In order to assess such a large-scale and complex project, it is not enough to rely on a universal general project methodology; the methods must be adapted and customized. In particular, cross-sectoral and indirect effects arise that will require an adequate organizational and economic scheme for the project to be implemented. It has been concluded that a complex assessment of economic efficiency is only possible with the view of the entire national economy, taking into account not only direct but also indirect, including non-transport, effects. However, the basis for accepting the project for a detailed study is to compare the cost of the ballast material delivered to a specific point in the project network infrastructure of the development territory from the dumps of the mining pits and from the roadside pits, i.e. following the traditional method.
Keywords: efficiency of a complex project, cost comparison, disposal of dumps, design and construction of railways
