What we are proud of

Dji 0765

Quarry Fragmentation improves by 15% while secondary breakage is reduced by 67%

Geology variation throughout the quarry made it difficult to keep consistent fragmentation. Most of the time the muckpile contained boulders that required intense secondary breaking by a hydraulic hammer. Subsequently, the blasts were creating uneven faces that were influencing safety on bench; making it harder for blast planning to keep the patterns uniform as needed for the desired final fragmentation.

Koneprusy cave

Reduction of Ground Vibrations by 14% with Blast Size increase by 300%

Nonelectric blasts were generating unpredictable vibrations with a big value spread. When blasting operations get closer, vibrations get higher, and the spread gets bigger. Typical blast parameters are: hole lengths from 15 to 20 m, hole diameters 92 mm, burden 3.3 m and spacing 2.9 m. Charge weight might be a maximum of 27 kg per deck. The request was for the lowest vibration inside the caves – close to stalagmite.

Phu Kham Mine

Mill throughput improved by 46 % with reduction of critical size particles by 11 %

After several trials with different powder factors, the Phu Kham Mine decided to use our services and tailor the timing of their blasts using E*STAR detonators to bring the intended results.
