Drill & Blast Designs
Drill & blast engineering is generally the first task given to Mining Engineers when they arrive on site, with a lower skill level comes a higher requirement for supervision. This increases the chance of mistakes happening, which can negatively impact production rates. Ensuring the process of stope design and drill & blast is consistent and harmonious, not only ensures key performance requirements are met but also ensures the sustainability of mining operations.
Common problems experienced by underground mines;
- Poor designs done by lower experienced engineers
- Poor stope shape design
- Excessive dilution or underbreak
- Freezing stopes
- Bridging stopes
- Designs not optimising the use of existing drives
