Blasting is a highly skilled process that, when properly designed and executed, can be safely used for rock excavation even in sensitive areas such as around residential buildings. By employing controlled blasting techniques, blasting operations can minimise ground vibration and air overpressure and ensure the safety of nearby structures. The use of blasting mats further enhances control by effectively containing fly rock. With careful planning and expert execution, blasting becomes a versatile

💥 Controlled Blasting in Mining 💥 Controlled blasting is precision rock breaking done safely and efficiently. It’s not just about explosions—it’s about planning, accuracy, and protection. ✅ Why it matters: • Keeps miners and equipment safe 👷‍♂️🦺 • Reduces vibrations, dust & flyrock 🌬️🪨 • Produces perfect rock sizes for easy loading 🚜 • Protects the environment & infrastructure 🌏🏗️ ⚡ How it’s done: • Pre-split & smooth blasting for clean breaks • Sequential firing & delays for controlled
