Drill & Blast Strategy
Drill & Blast Strategy
Overview
Improve the efficiency of your drill and blast process to reap significant dividends downstream
Designing a drill and blast strategy in the mine planning process involves a complex set of considerations to ensure safe and efficient excavation. Ensuring the safety of workers and equipment is paramount as well as minimizing the risk of accidents, flyrock, vibrations, and toxic gases. Safety measures must be integrated into the strategy to protect personnel and nearby communities.
Blasting can also generate dust, noise, and vibrations that may impact the environment. Designing a strategy that minimizes these effects while still achieving efficient excavation requires careful planning and adherence to evolving environmental regulations to maintain or improve sustainable investment prospects.
Creating an effective blast design involves finding the right balance between drilling costs, explosives usage, and mitigating the risks of externalities because of blasting activities.
Key Client Challenges:
- What are the geological conditions, natural fractures or weaknesses we should account for in blasting results?
- What are the main objectives of our strategy including desired fragmentation size?
- What are the constraints to consider such as environmental regulations or safety concerns?
- What drilling equipment and tools are needed and best suited for different rock conditions?
