Intelligent rig begins work at limestone mine. The Leopard DI650i is suitable for drilling applications in surface mining and large-scale quarrying operations. A new, heavy-duty mining-spec drill rig has been put to work in hard rock conditions, utilising the quarrying expertise of a drill and blast service provider.
Toeing the line: Blasting practices to control quarry floors, correct toes. pcm_admin 31/01/2020, 2:41 am. An application for three quarry pits has been proposed at Flinders Island, Tasmania. It is all too easy to blame geology for the toe and elevated floor problems in quarries. Anthony and Calvin Konya explain how the quality of explosives ...
Apart from budget and management restrictions, quarry blasters and engineers must face a very delicate economical equilibrium between achieving maximum fragmentation at the blast while minimizing the fines portion. The definition of fines varies from industry to industry from few inches to less than an inch, but in all cases implies a loss of mineral …
Harrison is a 32-year veteran of the stone industry, and she was hired not long after Vetter Stone took the reins of the Alabama quarry. The first order of business was improving the safety of the operations. "They took on that right at the get-go," says Hester. "There was no safety going on". "Zero," adds Harrison.
Quarry mining for rock in Florida is a billion-dollar business. Miami-Dade has at least nine quarries that have active blasting permits. Most are located in the "Lake Belt" region of the county. That area produces almost half of the 153 million tons of limestone that is used in Florida each year, according to the Miami Herald.
2. u0007For hole firing instantaneously along a row, the KS should be equal to 2; 3. u0007For holes firing on a delay, the KS should be between 1.0 and 2.0 – and typically between 1.2 and 1.8. This is because the blasting is four-dimensional, as timing is a crucial part of the design.

Statistical modelling of the blast design parameters influencing ground vibrations in a limestone quarry using design-expert. Original Paper. Published: 26 …
Quarry, place where dimension stone or aggregate (sand, gravel, crushed rock) is mined. ... Crushed stone is used for concrete aggregate, for road building, and, in the case of limestone, as flux in blast furnaces and for chemical applications. The quarrying technique consists of drilling and blasting to fragment the rock. A large number of ...
The blast caused a large limestone rock to crash through the roof and windshield of the truck the client was sitting in. The destructive blow resulted in open comminuted fracture of the client's ...
This point is explained by visualizing some field-scale post-blast images (Figs 10-14) on a limestone bench in a quarry where Fig. 10 reveals poorly broken and displaced muck pile fired on diagonal pattern, and, Figs. 11 & 12 illustrate the well displaced and fragmented muck pile fired on straight V-type firing pattern on the same limestone bench.
Predictions were made based on the input parameters of a limestone quarry and the blast design were varied to predict new design parameters that reduced the mean fragment size from 113cm to 105cm. …
The size distribution of a muck pile depends not on only the blasting standard but also on the mechanical properties, joint system, and crack density of the rock mass. As, the cracks in the rock masses are especially heavily developed at the limestone quarries in Japan, they, along with the joints, have a large impact on the effects of blasting, such as …

Perhaps the most famous deposit in the state is the Mudgee-based Mudgee Dolomite & Lime (MDL) quarry. The MDL operation is located in the state's north-east and has been up and running for 40 years. Another large deposit in the area is Boral's Marulan South Limestone Mine in southern NSW. This mine, which has been in operation since …

A unique validation tool developed on statistically designed response surface methodology (RSM) has been suggested for determining the rate of influence of blast design parameters on the ground vibrations with a case study of a limestone mine. Design-Expert software has been used to assess the intended statistically designed model.
First published in the March 2018 issue of Quarry Management as Tackling Troublesome Toes. By Anthony Konya, senior project engineer, and Dr Calvin J. Konya, founder and president, Precision Blasting Services. The problem of toes and elevated floors after a blast can be traced back centuries to when explosives were first used in mining …

Quarry blasts and seismicity. Blast operation creates both elastic and inelastic deformation within the nearby rock mass. A seismic event is a rapid inelastic deformation that occurred within a specified volume of rock (Ma et al. 2015).Regulatory authorities usually monitor blasts in quarries on the scheduled date of the operations by …
