IS82. SYNOPSIS:. Perimeter blasting techniques limit damage to the final walls of excavations. This is accomplished by lowering the explosive energy concentration of the excavation boundary. The most common method is pre-splitting which involves the formation of a crack coincident with the excavation boundary prior to firing the main blast.

The topic of blasting near pit walls is one that invokes mixed reactions from different mining departments. For many mine operations and mine scheduling departments, it often represents a significant disruption to efficient work flow, while to geotechnical departments it represents a critical component in the task of delivering safe and ...
1. Introduction. Xinqiao Mining Co., Ltd has an open-pit mine with 4 million ton Pyrites production p.a. At present, the final pit walls with about 200 m height have occurred.According to the mining project, the height of the slope will increase to 400 m or above when the open-pit mine will be closed.Pre-splitting blasting has almost not been …
The geotechnical slope design of an open pit wall starts at the bench scale configuration. At this scale, the rock slope stability is governed primarily by the geological discontinuities within the rock mass and as a result, structurally-controlled failures (e.g. planar, wedge or toppling) are most likely to occur. ... In open pit mining, a ...
