operations.
The Quarryman Pro produces a detailed scan of the rock face to be blasted. The proposed positions of the borehole
collars can also be positioned by the Quarryman or, alternatively, a Carlson GPS system can be used for this
purpose.
Blast design software can then be used to design the blast by adjusting the proposed hole positions and parameters.
The resulting blast design can then be delivered to the driller to guide their drilling operations. Once drilling is
complete the Boretrak – Carlson’s borehole-deviation survey system – is used to audit the drilling by providing a
survey of the deviation of each hole.
Final burden calculations and hole reports can then be made in the blast design software, enabling the quarry
operators to plan the loading of their holes and the pattern of the blast.
Using a blast design system in this way has been proven to help quarry operators significantly improve the safety
and efficiency of their fragmentation processes.
