Designing a drill and blast strategy in the mine planning process involves a complex set of considerations to ensure safe and efficient excavation. Ensuring the safety of workers and equipment is paramount as well as minimizing the risk of accidents, flyrock, vibrations, and toxic gases. Safety measures must be integrated into the strategy to protect personnel and nearby communities.
Blasting also generates dust, noise, and vibrations potentially impacting surrounding communication if not managed effectively. Designing a strategy that minimizes these effects while still achieving efficient excavation requires careful planning and adherence to evolving local regulations to avoid non-compliance penalties.
Creating an effective blast design ultimately involves finding the right balance between drilling costs, explosives usage, and mitigating the risks of externalities because of blasting activities.
