What will I learn?
This Blasting Techniques Course equips you with hands-on skills to design and carry out safe, effective bench blasts using bulk ANFO explosives. You will study explosive characteristics, charge calculations, burden and spacing, selecting hole sizes and depths, and timing for non-electric systems. Learn to control vibration, airblast, and flyrock, use rock mass data like RQD and GSI for better fragmentation, and adhere to procedures for planning, team communication, emergency handling, and meeting safety regulations.
