The mine and its blasting team should ensure that all blasting activities adhere to the standards and regulations set out by governing bodies and the accompanying legislation. It is also critical that the mine and its employees stay abreast of any amendments to these regulations. For example, the Department of Mineral Resources …
Drilling and blasting is one of the most dangerous mining processes undertaken. Degrees of automation enable drill rigs to do much of their work independently, effectively removing people completely, or lessening workers' exposure to hazards such as dust, noise, vibration and, crucially, explosives. In countries where labour is expensive ...

P. K. Singh [10] looked at these promising controlled blasting parameters relative to the specific rock characteristics and conditions in a surface mine to control overbreak and improve the stability of slopes. This study focused on the controlled blasting technique mostly used in surface mining, pre-split blasting, where reduced charges, …
We know that open-pit mining operations mainly include drilling, blasting, mining, transportation and dumping. Blasting is a very important part of it. Blasting costs account for 15% to 20% of the total cost of open pit mining. Moreover, the quality of blasting directly affects the working efficiency and total cost of the mining process.
The future of blasting in mining lies in increased automation and robotics. A tunnel front with blasting holes. Exploring the engineering innovations shaping the future of blasting operations. The mining …
The meaning of the signals and the specific blasting times are provided in a blasting schedule notice that is mailed to residents within ½-mile of any blasting. Additionally, homeowners can ask questions about the blasting during the pre-blasting survey of their home (available to residents within ½ mile of coal mining permit boundaries).
Most modern blasting seismographs use velocity sensors. When blast vibration is recorded with a seismograph, the actual velocity of the particle motion, ... Structure Response and Damage Produced by Airblast from Surface Mining, in 1980 and by Wiss and Linehan earlier. While these reports may seem a bit outdated, the air overpressure sources
