Drilling and Blasting Course
This course equips you with essential skills for drilling and blasting in oil and gas tunnel projects. Delve into pattern design, safe explosive handling, vibration and flyrock mitigation, and comprehensive risk management near hydrocarbon sites. Boost safety standards, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimise excavation results with every blast operation, tailored for efficient tunnelling in challenging geology like sandstone and shale.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in designing tunnel drilling patterns, choosing hole types, and managing burden, spacing, and subdrill for sandstone and shale. Master safe explosive choices, charge placement, initiation methods, plus controls for vibration, flyrock, gas risks, and environmental factors. Enhance blast planning, monitoring, assessment, and records for safe, effective operations in oil and gas tunnelling.
