The strictness of the result of an excavation, whether mechanical or by means of explosives, is naturally conditioned by its objective and, therefore, by the type of technique applied to achieve it. To attain the best results …
Drilling and blasting are the two most significant operations in open pit mines that play a crucial role in downstream stages.
by Drilling and Blasting 16.1 Introduction 16.1.1 Working Cycle of Excavation by D & B Drilling and blasting are the most common methods for tunneling and underground excavation. The process begins with holes of predetermined diameter, depth, and spacing being drilled into the rock. Explosives are placed in the holes, and when
What is drilling and blasting? This is a process followed to break rock for excavation purposes, via controlled use of explosives and other methods such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics. Drilling and blasting is …
The drilling-blasting method is commonly used in the construction of highway tunnels. As shown in Fig. 1, a large amount of dust will be generated during the construction process.The existence of dust will not only reduce the visibility in the workspace, shorten the service life of construction equipment and affect the radio waves …
3 Nonexplosive rock breaking methods. Conventional explosive blasting has several drawbacks. The drilling, blasting, and scaling processes are complex; people and equipment need to be evacuated before blasting; safety is compromised; and the environment is negatively impacted . Furthermore, the use of explosive blasting …
Techniques such as line drilling, pre-splitting, smooth blasting, and cushion blasting are carried out to achieve controlled blasting. ... Smooth Blasting. This method is widely accepted for controlling overbreak in canal, underground headings, a nd slopes. In smooth blasting, the holes are drilled along the excavation limits, lightly loaded ...
The development, advancement and utilization of innovative technology are very important for the mining industry in general and drilling and blasting in particular, in order to minimize the risk ...
The samples for intelligent SR classification comprise (i) the drilling parameters of intelligent jumbos (China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Corporation, Ltd., see Fig. 3) (Liu, 2019) and (ii) grades of SR on the faces of tunnels formed by drilling and blasting.As shown in Fig. 4, when an intelligent jumbo drills a blast hole in a tunnel …
Drilling and blasting is an environmentally friendly option that can significantly reduce noise, dust, and visual pollution, and instead isolates any pollution near the tunnel portal. Compared to cut-and-cover, the …
Drill and Blast is particularly advantageous in stable, hard rock environments where the predictable nature of the rock allows for efficient drilling and controlled blasting. This method excels in creating tunnels through tough geological settings where mechanical methods might struggle without significant reinforcement.
Underwater drilling and blasting techniques have been developed to overcome the challenges posed by various subaquatic operations, including marine construction, oil and gas exploration, and underwater mining, demolition, dredging and excavation, seismic surveys and marine research. The drilling operation is followed by …

Deep hole blasting is the blasting method that uses drilling equipment to drill deeper holes as the charge space of mining explosives. The deep hole blasting in open pit mine is mainly bench blasting. Deep hole blasting is a kind of blasting method which is widely used in open pit mine. The depth of the blast hole is usually 15 to 20m.
Excavation damage zone (EDZ) has a great influence on the stability and support design for tunnels. To better describe the difference of EDZ in hard rock caused by tunnel boring machine (TBM) and drilling-blasting (D&B) method, the scope and degree of EDZ were considered. The scope of EDZ was determined by the test results from similar …
Drilling and blasting (DBM) is a controlled method used to break rock for excavation purposes. It's a traditional and effective technique employed in various …
The line drilling method was chosen for the blasting trial stage. In the observation activity, an analysis of the resulting blasting and fragmentation vibrations was carried out. Precise planning ...
An intermediate step is required before final determination – an evaluation of what general drilling method (or methods) will be best suited for a particular application. Drilling methods, herein referring to the mechanics of the process, can be broken down into two broad categories, and then further divided into subsections as follows:
Blasting is a process of reduction of rocks or hard soil into fragments with the help of explosives. The blasting operation involves drilling of holes, installation of a detonator and charge, detonating the charge, and removal of debris. ...
The drilling-and-blasting method is widely used in construction and reconstruction. The demolition means may be classified according to impact on a material of structures to be demolished and to forces application, where, by virtue of an impact energy type, we choose the blasting method. This method is used during the complete demolition or ...
The main objectives of controlled blasting techniques are to minimize the overbreak and fracturing of rock beyond the designated boundary of excavation to achieve smooth post …
Drilling and blasting as a key activity in the mining cycle have a key role in operational risk management. Many empirical methods have been developed to determine blast design parameters or the prediction of blast outcomes. However, these methods cannot cover all associated parameters and factors in design or prediction.
