Drilling and Blasting vs. Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) ... How Much Does it Cost to Drill and Blast Rock? The cost of drilling and blasting can vary from $3.00/m³ to $150/m³ depending on the location and relationship to buildings. For example, small diameter drills (115mm and less) can cost around $20,000/month to operate, …
Overbreak and underbreak are common occurrences in tunnels using the drilling and blasting method. The sizes of overbreak and underbreak are key indicators of the quality of tunnel blasting excavation, making control of these indicators crucial for ensuring tunnel safety and accelerating construction progress (Chen et al., 2021, Kim …
1. Introduction. The drilling-and-blasting method is widely used in tunnel construction and resource mining activities. It is recognized for its simplicity, effectiveness across various geological conditions, and cost efficiency [[1], [2]].However, it also brings many negative effects, including blasting vibration, air shock waves, flying rock, noise, …
From the other hand, rock tunnels constructed using the D&B method involve a multitude of intricate operational phases, encompassing preliminary geological exploration, drilling, blasting, rock excavation, support installation, drainage and ventilation, as well as construction management [19], [20]. Each of these operational …
Quick and accurate acquisition of the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the surrounding rock at the tunnel face effectively ensures the safety of tunnel construction. This paper proposes a model for estimating the USC of the tunnel surrounding rock based on boreholes measurement-while-drilling data and stacking …
In a drill-and-blast tunnel, blasting will inevitably result in disturbance to the confined rock mass surrounding the tunnel profile. ...

In tunnel blasting, explosives are required to pe rform in a difficult condition, as single free face (in the form of tunnel face) is available in contrast to bench blasting where at least two free faces exist. Hence, more drilling and explosives are required per unit volume of rock to be fragmented in the case of tunnel blasting.

Here in the United States we used to refer to tunneling by drill-and-blast as "conventional" tunneling, which I guess leaves tunneling by TBM or other mechanized means to be referred to as "Unconventional." However, with the evolution of TBM technology it becomes more and more rare to do tunneling by d…
