Blast Design Software for Mining

Bench Blasting Design and Optimization

Configure burden, spacing, stemming, and sub-drill parameters for bench blasts. Calculate powder factors and predict fragmentation using built-in models.

K-MINE blast design configures burden, spacing, stemming height, and sub-drill depth for bench blasting operations with automatic powder factor calculation and fragmentation prediction using Kuz-Ram models. Adjust blast parameters by rock domain, bench height, and target fragmentation to optimize drilling cost, explosive consumption, and downstream crushing performance. Store blast recipes per geological zone for consistent application across the mine site.

Drill Pattern Design

Create patterns using regular grid, staggered, 90-degree, and second-row stagger arrangements with automatic burden and spacing optimization based on bench geometry and rock properties.

Charge Calculation & Decking

Design decked charges with multiple explosive types per hole, calculate capacity from explosive density and hole diameter, and differentiate stemming and overdrill by row position.

Blast Timing & Delay Sequencing

Build timing sequences using five delay methods — From Center, By Vectors, Along Line, In Rows — to control energy distribution, fragmentation pattern, and muckpile displacement.

Detonation Simulation & Safety Zones

Simulate blast sequences with millisecond-resolution visualization, verify firing order and energy propagation, and calculate dangerous zones for personnel and equipment standoff distances.

Fragmentation Analysis from Drone Imagery

Analyze muckpile fragmentation using calibrated drone photos with automatic rock fragment detection, grain size distribution curves, and comparison against design targets.

Rig Data Transfer & Blasthole Passports

Send drill patterns directly to drilling rigs and generate blasthole passports that track every parameter from design through execution for reconciliation and continuous improvement.
