Blasting techniques are methods used to break rock or other materials using explosives. These techniques are commonly employed in construction, mining, and demolition. The process involves drilling holes into the material, placing explosives, and detonating them to create fractures, making it easier to remove or reshape the material. There are several types of blasting techniques, including controlled blasting, smooth blasting, and pre-splitting. Each method is chosen based on the specific requirements of the project, such as minimizing vibration or controlling the direction of the blast. Proper planning and safety measures are essential to ensure effective and safe blasting operations.
