Controlled blasting: reducing vibration and fly-rock
Timing, charge limits and monitoring — how a blast is kept under control.
Controlled blasting releases energy in small steps, spread out over time.
Techniques
- Limiting the charge per delay
- Electronic initiation with modelled timing
- Defined safety zones
- Vibration monitoring on site
This matters most near buildings, roads and existing structures.
