What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in designing drilling patterns for tunnels, choosing suitable hole types, and managing burden, spacing, and subdrill in sandstone and shale formations. Master safe explosives selection, charge placement, initiation methods, and controls for vibration, flyrock, gas ignition, and environmental hazards. Enhance blast planning, real-time monitoring, post-blast assessments, and record-keeping for safe, efficient, and regulatory-compliant operations.
