POWDER FACTOR
 Power factor is expressed as pounds of explosive per cu-
 bic yard of rock and is depth dependent. Cubic yardage
 is calculated: Burden (ft) x Spacing (ft) x Hole Depth (ft)
 (not including subdrill) ÷ 27
 • Trench depths of 4’ to 12’: powder factor = 3.5
 • Trench depths of 12’ to 20’: powder factor = 4.0
 • Trench depths over 20’: powder factor = 5.0
 Notes:
 1 - Trench depth does not include subdrilling; hole
 depth does.
 2 - In trenches where the overburden is not removed,
 the overburden is included in the cubic yard calculations.
 3 - These recommendations are based on borehole
 diameters of 3.5” or less.
 4 - Recommended subdrill is 6” more than the trench
 advance.
 5 - Recommend no more than 1” difference between the
 borehole diameter and powder diameter.

Increasing Efficiency through Improved
 Shaft Cycle Times
Highwall stability improvement through less blast vibration and displacement (Case Study), page 1 of 2

In an effort to minimize highwall damage associated with
blasting operations, vibration reduction has been sought
as a means to reduce damage to the new highwall created
by each cast blast.

TECHNOLOGY APPLIED
DYNO 42 SOFTWARE WAS USED TO PICK
THE BEST DELAY SEQUENCE THUS
REDUCING THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE
HIGHWALL
Current delay sequences have been chosen based on
giving good effective cast performance. The impact of
vibration was only addressed if there were engineered
structures such as power transformer stations or gas
wells in the area.

Usually peak particle velocity (PPV) was the only vibration
measurement that was considered. Now, particle
displacement is being reviewed with respect to influence
on final highwall conditions post blast.

Re-Closure of Specification Boxes for Packaged Explosives and Detonators
NONEL®

NONEL Re-Closure Packaging Instructions:

To Close Box with Flaps: Boxes with flaps require the minor (shorter) flaps to be closed first and the major
(longer) flaps to be closed last. These boxes have tape sealing the box from the factory. The tape required
to seal the box is 3-inch-wide 3M 371 or 3M 355. It should be applied over the original factory tape centered
on the major flaps and extending a minimum of 2 inches down the sides of the box.

To Close Box with Locking Tab: One smaller box uses a corrugated tab inserted into a slot in the box top
as a locking feature. This box requires the users to fold the inner flaps in and close the lid and insert the
locking tab into the slot on the box top.

To Close Telescoping Boxes: Place the box top onto and over the box bottom. These boxes have tape
sealing the box from the factory. The tape required to seal the box top to the bottom is 3-inch-wide 3M 371
or 3M 355. It should be applied over the original factory tape on the box bottom and extending a minimum of
2 inches up the sides of the box. Do not tear or remove staples.

remote blasting system. In the six months prior to the
implementation of BlastWeb, the mine recorded a misfire rate
of 5.4%. In the following months, there were no misfires.

The implementation of Dyno Nobel’s Centralised Blasting
System supports both the safety of the mine employees during
blasting and the elimination of misfires due to communication
errors at firing time.

DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING BLAST
CLEARANCE PROCESS
The mine is developing multiple ore bodies over a vast area
and across multiple levels. Blasts are initiated at the end of
shift with multiple development headings and production blasts
fired across various levels and areas of the mine. With a
multitude of personnel working over this vast area, blast
clearances can be difficult and time consuming.

Re-Closure of Specification Boxes
 for Packaged Explosives and Detonators
 Detonating Cord
Explosive products are packaged in UN specification packages (boxes) meeting U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) shipping requirements. Whenever a UN specification box is opened, and one or
more units of explosives are removed for any purpose, a void is created, compromising the performance
of the specification box as originally tested.

Detonating Cord packages opened in the field are required to be closed and sealed for transport over a
public road just as they were closed and sealed from the factory. Open the top of the box only.

Consumers who purchase Dyno Nobel products, use less than full-box quantities, then transport partial
 UN specification boxes of explosives and/or detonators assume the responsibility to meet this DOT re-
 closure requirement, per49 CFR Part178.2 (c).

Federal Mandatory Training Requirements for Packaging:

DOT Federal Mandatory Training Requirements for Packaging related tasks in accordance with 49 CFR
172.704 must be complied with as follows.
