What will I learn?
This Blasting Techniques Course imparts practical expertise in designing and implementing safe, efficient bench blasts with bulk ANFO. Participants explore explosive characteristics, charge calculations, burden and spacing optimisation, selection of hole diameter and depth, alongside non-electric initiation timing. Key focus areas include controlling vibration, airblast, and flyrock; utilising rock mass data for enhanced fragmentation; and adhering to structured protocols for planning, communication, emergency procedures, and regulatory standards.
Elevify advantages
