New methodology to optimize quarry blasts - Pit & Quarry ...

2021-1-13 · This process of optimization goes through the stages until reaching the performance phase, which ranks the desired outcomes of a blast. For example, one site where this technique was applied was a large coal mine that used about 1 million pounds of emulsion per blast. The site typically had a radius of flyrock of about 2,000 ft. in distance.
