What will I learn?
This Blasting Techniques 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 determination, selection of hole diameter and depth, plus non-electric initiation timing. Learners will excel in controlling vibration, airblast, and flyrock, utilise rock mass data for better fragmentation, and adhere to structured processes for planning, communication, emergency handling, and meeting regulatory standards.
Elevify advantages
