In efforts to optimise blasting performance and annual cost savings as part of continuous improvement, engineering trials were designed to trial the effectiveness of Varistem®
Mine A Operations | Blast Engineering & Regulatory Compliance Abstract — Blasting in sensitive environments demands a fundamentally different approachcompared to conventional open-pit operations. This
Blast performance depends on more than the explosive. The way the hole is designed and how energy is managed in the column can be the
The use of stemming plugs for the optimisation of blast performance is gaining popularity in the mining industry. This is mainly as a result of
Velocity of Detonation (VoD) is a technical term in the blasting and explosives domain. It refers to the speed at which the explosive shock wave
A POTENTIAL REASON FOR ADVERSE BLASTING OUTCOMES? INTRODUCTION A critical design parameter that needs to be selected during the drilling and blasting design process is
Introduction As part of continuous improvement efforts to optimise blasting performance and enhance safety at Gold Operation X, engineering trials were designed to trial the
When your blast outcomes are inconsistent, the problem is often not the explosive. It may be based on blast design, and whether the energy is
Your choice of stemming plug is specific to your operation’s needs. On some blasts, your biggest win comes from tightening collar confinement and cutting flyrock
