Course objectives
The objective of blasting is to optimize the cost-effectiveness of the excavation process through the fragmentation and displacement of rock from its in situ condition to a highly diggable muckpile.
The aim of wall control is to optimise the stability of a rock wall exposed by excavation through the control of fragmentation, displacement, vibration and overbreak.
The success of mining and quarrying operations depends on both of these aims being achieved despite the conflict of purpose that may exist.
