What will I learn?
The Blasting Techniques Course gives you practical skills to design and execute safe, efficient bench blasts using bulk ANFO. Learn explosive properties, charge factors, burden and spacing, hole diameter and depth selection, and non-electric initiation timing. Master vibration, airblast, and flyrock control, apply rock mass data to improve fragmentation, and follow clear procedures for planning, communication, emergency response, and regulatory compliance.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design blast patterns: apply burden, spacing, and powder factor in the field.
- Optimize ANFO use: select charge, VOD, and stemming for safe, clean blasts.
- Read rock masses: use RQD, GSI, and joints to tune bench blast performance.
- Control impacts: predict vibration, airblast, and flyrock to protect structures.
- Run safe shots: plan, initiate, and document non-electric bench blasts to code.
