Electronics Boosts Performance and Cuts Costs at the Savannah Project
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

When complex blast geometry and a nearby major pump station presented challenges to mining at the Savannah Project, they were delighted with controlled electronic blasting of a pivotal stope.

Mine operator Panoramic Resources’ drill and blast engineering team worked closely with DynoConsult to successfully design and initiate the blast using HotShot®’s precise electronic detonator timing. This was essential for the complicated 252 hole shot over two levels, involving a combination of up and down and slashing rings initiated in four different directions.

The controlled blast succeeded in preventing any damage to pump infrastructure and resulted in improved fragmentation of the ore and less over-break.
Additional benefits included a 54% saving on rock breaking costs, reduced lost time and wear on the crusher and bogging equipment, and, most importantly, improved safety through eliminating risk to charge crews working under open brows.

The engineering team at Panoramic Resources found that with proper shot design, greatly improved fragmentation, with correspondingly less over-break, is achievable in addition to minimizing damaging ground vibration.

Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

Through clever blast design and system flexibility, Cadia was able to optimize burden relief, allowing for the best combination of blast movement, fragmentation and dig-ability.

The transformation culminated on 29 February 2008 with the largest SmartShot blast in Australia at that time, consisting of 1147 detonators and a total firing time of over 13 seconds! The mine also made history, as this was the biggest blast ever fired on site.

FRAGMENTATION
Dyno Nobel proposed conducting a trial shot using its
DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY product; ∆E.

For the purpose of the test, the same blast parameters
were kept in order to compare the performance of bulk
emulsion only. Moreover, it was possible to introduce
∆E next to 1070G blend in the same blast. Four different
segments of the product, with different densities, were
introduced into the boreholes. This reduced the density
from 1.20 to 1.14 g/cc.

More testing is necessary to better predict the adequate
segment densities in order to optimize the fragmentation
as well as modifying blasting parameters to better
distribute the energy throughout the shot. Even though
the client was satisfied with Dyno Nobel’s product, it was
said that no immediate change in supplier will be made
because of existing contractual obligations.

The client was satisfied with Dyno Nobel’s product and
committed to giving special consideration to Dyno Nobel’s

improved results and lesser cost.

Groundbreaking Performance through Practical Innovation

Living up to the vision of ‘Groundbreaking Performance through Practical Innovation’, the Dyno Nobel Technology Team has developed and introduced to the market a revolutionary solution to optimize blast performance.  Differential Energy is a proprietary method for precisely targeting explosive energy to match rock properties.

Geological conditions can vary significantly within the mining landscape.  Hard rock bands and seams sometimes end up at various places throughout the borehole, causing unwanted effects to the blasting process, such as flyrock and poor fragmentation.  Dyno Nobel’s development team has partnered with mining operators to develop solutions for problems like this.  Through the efforts of many talented employees in R&D, Engineering, Product Management and Tradestar, Dyno Nobel created an industry breakthrough.

Differential Energy is a system which combines Dyno Nobel’s TITAN® bulk explosives with its specifically-designed delivery trucks and proprietary AGS (automatic gassing system).  This enables customers to precisely and accurately vary the characteristics of the bulk explosive in the borehole to create the optimal blasting outcome.  This technology is made possible with a new approach to chemical gassing of bulk emulsion and emulsion blends in both augured and pumped applications.  Dyno Nobel has taken this gassing technology to a new level through the development and introduction of Differential Energy.

Historically, the explosive energy profile in the borehole was limited by product type and physics.  As shown in the graphic below (columns 1 – 3), the energy distribution varies very slightly or not at all using traditional methods and products.  The differentially gassed emulsion (column 4) allows a much greater degree of energy distribution while being delivered at the same rate.

Differential Energy provides many benefits to the mine or quarry such as improved highwall stability, smoother floors, better fragmentation, increased water resistance, reduced potential for flyrock, minimised post-blast NOx fumes generation, at potentially a lower cost.  Through this practical innovation, Dyno Nobel can help drive operational excellence for its customers.

Blast Design Using TITAN® XL 1000 and DigiShot®
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

As with any sump shot, blasters are shooting into a floor with no relief. This lack of relief causes higher vibration levels and increases the potential for vertical fly-rock and/or airblast. The quarry is located near a residential community and business warehouse park so control of the blast is essential. The extremely hard, massive granite places an additional challenge on the blaster.
