What Will I Learn?
This course equips participants with hands-on skills to design and carry out safe, effective bench blasts using bulk ANFO. Key topics include explosive characteristics, charge calculations, burden and spacing optimisation, selection of hole diameter and depth, and non-electric initiation timing. Participants will learn to control vibration, airblast, and flyrock, utilise rock mass data for better fragmentation, and adhere to procedures for planning, communication, emergency response, and regulatory compliance.
Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
