Blast Design is the process of planning and executing controlled explosions to break rock or other materials efficiently. It involves selecting the right type and amount of explosives, determining the timing of detonations, and designing the layout of blast holes. The goal is to achieve optimal fragmentation while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring safety. Effective Blast Design considers factors such as rock type, geological conditions, and the desired outcome. Engineers use computer simulations and field tests to refine their designs, ensuring that the blasts meet project requirements while reducing costs and risks associated with mining, construction, or demolition activities.
