Drill and Blast Design Software

Blast Pattern Design and Charge Calculation

Design drilling patterns, assign explosive charges, and generate timing sequences. Visualize blast results in 3D before execution and track fragmentation performance.

K-MINE drill and blast design creates drilling patterns, assigns explosive charges by hole, and generates initiation timing sequences with 3D visualization of predicted blast outcomes before execution. Track fragmentation performance against target size distributions, compare designed versus actual drill positions, and adjust patterns based on rock type and structural geology. Export blast designs to drill navigation systems and generate post-blast compliance reports.

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.
