Surface mining relies heavily on blasting to uncover coal reserves but it comes with risks. Flyrock from blasting can be dangerous, causing injury and property damage. Blasters play a crucial role in preventing these hazards! To learn more about how OSMRE regulates and certifies blasters, check out: https://lnkd.in/eqhpukMN #mining #safetyfirst

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Mining operations are inherently hazardous, with various risks that can lead to severe accidents. One such risk is flyrock during blasting operations. Flyrock refers to rock fragments that are propelled beyond the designated blast area, posing significant dangers to personnel, equipment, and the surrounding environment. Ensuring safety in mining operations necessitates reducing flyrock incidents through meticulous planning, advanced techniques, and stringent safety measures.

Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Mining with GAO Tek’s Anemometers

#spacing and #burden topic powered by #PRDRIGS Optimizing blast hole spacing and burden is paramount for achieving the utmost efficiency in drilling operations. A meticulous approach to these technical parameters ensures uniform energy distribution, controlled fragmentation, and heightened operational precision. This not only extends the lifespan of drilling equipment through consumables optimization but also minimizes vibrations and potential damage to surrounding structures. Embracing the best practices in blast hole spacing and burden sets the stage for a drilling process that maximizes efficiency, minimizes costs, and ensures the sustained success of mining and construction endeavors. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tanzania #drilling #miningequipment #miningindustry #mining #miningexploration #miningexploration #miningoperations #miningsafety #construction #drillandblast #drillingrig #drillingtools #drillingfluids #drillingprocurement #kenya #uganda #rwanda #blasting #blasthole #groundvibration #africa #burden

Transitioning between open pit and underground mining methods involves complex considerations and careful planning. Key factors include the physical intersection of surface and underground operations, geotechnical and ventilation concerns, and the interaction of dewatering systems. Timing is crucial, as simultaneous operations may require separate management structures, equipment, and technical support, while differences in ore characteristics and processing capacities must be addressed. Additionally, transitioning from underground to open pit is less common and involves decommissioning the underground mine, managing safety risks, and mitigating potential operational disruptions #stantec #MineSAFE #MineARC #safety #mining #ventilation #compressedair https://lnkd.in/ge7FfmHA
