Use Less Explosives
|
|
Substitute ANFO for Emulsion Blends
|
|
| Save 15% to 35% of the total explosive load and still have excellent dig-ability. It's possible to reduce vibration and noise in addition to cost savings. | If your holes have only a few feet of water, try dropping a Gas Bag on the water to seal off the hole. Add a little stemming and use ANFO instead of waterproof explosives. Generally you can use this system up to 8 times the borehole diameter of water. | ||

|
With a Cavity
|
|
| Hole spacing should be 15 to 24 times the borehole diameter in inches depending on the local geology. A good example for many coal highwalls is 18 foot spacing for a 10-5/8" hole. | Plug holes in Vertical Crater Retreat mine methods. | ||
