Unveiling the Danger: Exploring Flyrocks in Blasting

Accurate drilling is essential to ensure effective rock fragmentation, avoid floor irregularities, control fly rocks, and improve overall safety and productivity in blasting operations. Traditional deviation measuring devices like the Rodded Boretrak are reliable but expensive and complex. This study investigates the viability of replacing such systems with a standard smartphone using in-built 3D accelerometer and magnetic sensors.

Smartphone-Based Borehole Deviation Measurement in Mining

The case study emphasizes the critical role of drilling and blasting in overall mining costs and introduces technology-driven solutions to achieve pattern expansion and optimized blast designs.
Key methodologies include:
<div class="s4">• Simulation and Design: Using O-PitSurface software to predict and calibrate fragmentation models based on site-specific conditions.</div>
<div class="s4">• Data Acquisition: Drones and photogrammetry analysis are employed to generate accurate orthophotos for particle size distribution analysis with WipFrag.</div>
<div class="s4">• Rock Factor Calibration: Utilizing a GRG non-linear optimization algorithm for precise fragmentation predictions.</div>
<div class="s4">• Pattern Expansion: Incrementally refining blast parameters to maximize results while maintaining control over deviations and fragmentation limits.</div>
The results demonstrate substantial cost savings of $229,361 and the efficient blasting of over 605,000 m³ of rock, achieved through optimization techniques.
