Electronic Detonators Allow Quarry to Increase Production while Keeping the Neighbors Happy
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

By using Signature Hole Analysis (SHA) modeling to develop alternative timing sequences, Dyno Nobel was able to increase the blast hole diameter allowing for pattern expansion and an increase in blast rock per hole. Pattern expansion resulted in lower drilling costs, and timing sequences kept vibration levels low, while enabling the quarry to increase production per blast event while ensuring minimal off-site ground vibration to satisfy the local market demand for stone.

Application Technology—3D Blast Modeling

Project Summary
CURRENT SITUATION
Waste rock was needed to re-establish haul roads for an Iron
Mine in the Midwest USA. This was an existing mine being
reopened. In order to obtain the materials needed for the haul
roads the customer selected a green site. This site was located
within 200ft (5m) of an existing lake.
Before any blasting took place the Department of Natural
Resources for the state determined no material from the blast
could enter the lake. Since this was a green site there was no
experience on how to shoot this material or information on how
much movement or flyrock could be expected employing 16in
(41cm) diameter holes.
The local Dyno Nobel Technical Representative produced a
blast pattern he was confident would control the flyrock off the
shot. Other blast patterns were also presented, so an application
needed to be applied to see which blast pattern would best
control flyrock.

Tight Timetable to Clear Area for Primary Crusher
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

The quarry is planning to relocate their primary crusher onto the floor of level seven, which has not been established yet. The plan is to remove all rock on level seven within 200 feet of the proposed crusher location prior to construction. The timetable is tight and the quarry wants to get down 45 feet as quickly as possible. Due to the quarry’s location being in fairly close proximity to two residential communities as well as a couple of single residences near the quarry property line, the Dyno Consult representative felt it wise to take it down in two lifts of 23 feet to reduce vibration levels and the risk of flyrock from a totally confined blast.

News: Incitec Pivot and Dyno Nobel to build $850M Ammonia Plant in Louisiana
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

By Ross Kelly

SYDNEY–Incitec Pivot Ltd. said Wednesday it had approved construction of a US$850 million ammonia plant in Louisiana, taking advantage of low energy costs driven by a boom in U.S. shale gas production.

The Australian company said its Dyno Nobel explosives division had entered into a contract with KBR Inc. for the engineering company to build the plant and licence to Dyno Nobel its ammonia technology. Ammonia is used in the production of explosives.

Production from the 800,000 metric tons per year plant is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2016, Incitec Pivot said. It will be built on an existing chemical complex site, meaning it will have access to existing infrastructure including ammonia logistics.

“The plant will sit in the bottom quartile of the global cost curve and takes our U.S. business, and potential future ammonium nitrate expansions, back to U.S. gas economics,” Chief Executive James Fazzino said in a statement.

Incitec Pivot said the project would bring to seven the number of ammonia plants it operates globally.
