Workshop Description:
The introduction of precise electronic detonators has dramatically
changed the way we do blast designs. Initially electronic detonators
were introduced as a specialty application to control ground
vibrations, air blast and fly rock. But today, the primary application
of electronic detonators is in substantially improving fragmentation,
increasing the plant/leach pad throughput, and minimising system
cost. Very small changes in the blast design, with the use of
electronic detonators, can achieve substantial improvements.
Workshop Outline:
Necessary requirements to satisfy the fragmentation distributions
for processing plants
Stem charge and air deck blasting theories: applications and
example calculations
Determining the optimum hole, row and deck delays to increase
fragmentation, casting and to minimise ore dilution
Outlining problems with single hole signature analysis for
vibration predictions, and how to handle this effectively
Understanding blast design influence on the total mining
system costs
Combining electronic detonators with stem charge, air decks,
very short (1-3ms) hole delays, and very long (100-300ms) row
delays to increase drill patterns 8-15%, without affecting
fragmentation
Workshop Description:
Twelve cardinal rules have been developed to guarantee excellent
presplit results in medium to large diameter holes. The success of
this technique relies not only on the presplit design, but also on the
blasting sequence and in protecting the presplit charges.
Workshop Outline:
Presplitting theory and calculations
Types of rocks which can and cannot presplit
Blast design details (powder factors, spacing, charge placement
in hole, subgrade, buffer hole offset and delay timing
Mass blasting. This allows the presplit, buffer holes and all of the
production holes to be fired in one blast without damaging the
highwall, regardless of the size of the production blast
