Abstract

A study was carried out to develop safe and efficient blast design parameters for an opencast mine. The primary objective was to ensure controlled blasting within a designated safety zone, preventing adverse effects on nearby structures and residential areas. The analysis focused on blast vibration prediction, charge per delay determination, and monitoring the impact of blasting activities on the surroundings. A series of trial blasts were performed, and an empirical predictor equation was established based on recorded data. The results indicated that blast-induced ground vibrations remained within permissible limits as per regulatory guidelines. The findings provide recommendations for optimized blasting practices to enhance both safety and productivity.
