Mining, near buildings or homes, has always been the subject of complicated debates when it comes to the origin of cracks in buildings. Residents believe…
It was in the 1980s that USBM published one of the first regulations to protect buildings from the effects of vibrations caused by mine blasting.…
With sections of hydraulic tunnels between 25 m2 and 41 m2, the objectives were to obtain the best blasting progress (> 95%) minimizing the damage…
This case study shows how a unique combination of field measurements and advanced technologies allowed detonators to design, load and fire an incredibly challenging quarry…
Optimization and simulation of rock vibration and projection in Malartic, for 1 million tons in blasting 200 meters from the village. 22% maximum deviation for…
The main objective in blasting is fragmentation. A reduction in the maximum size of rock fragments to facilitate the use of a crusher is a…
Since the principle of the elementary wave method has been described in the 1980s, there has always been much controversy about it. The theory is…
The elemental wave method has been developed in the 1990s, electronic detonators (EDD) as well. Only for ten years, EDD has become a common initiation…
