Adapt blast designs with confidence, then carry them through to outcome

BlastLogic brings mine planning and operations together around a shared view of blast design, on-bench execution and measured performance. Teams can adapt designs as conditions change, communicate design intent clearly and coordinate safe, accurate execution in the field.

For teams looking to extend adaptive blast design further, the optional BlastMCF add-on generates and compares design scenarios against defined constraints and objectives. Engineers can explore more options, understand trade-offs and bring selected designs into BlastLogic for operational refinement and execution.

Planned, actual and downstream data can then be reconciled to show what happened, why it happened and how future designs or on-bench activities should change. The result is a more connected, measurable and continuously improving blast process.

BlastLogic overview

Adaptive design, coordinated execution and evidence-led improvement.

Built for
Adaptive blast design & execution

Create, evaluate and refine designs, then connect them directly with safe and accurate on-bench execution.

Use for
Design scenarios, compliance & performance

Compare design options and reconcile planned, actual and downstream results to guide the next blast.

Delivers
Connected, actionable blast intelligence

Bring design, drilling, QA/QC, charging, timing and performance data together for teams and live analysis.

Clear responsibilities from design office to bench

BlastLogic gives mine planning, drill and blast engineering, and operations teams a shared system while preserving the distinct work each team needs to perform.

Designs remain controlled in the office, current instructions reach the field, and actual execution data returns for review without relying on disconnected files or manual handovers.

Design control
Prepare and communicate the plan

Develop drill, charge and timing designs, manage revisions and give each team a clear view of current design intent.

Field coordination
Perform work on the bench

Track drilling, QA/QC, charging, timing and tie-up activity against the approved design, with deviations visible to the wider team.

Performance review
Explain variance and impact

Compare planned and actual activity, investigate where outcomes diverged and relate blast execution to downstream performance.

How teams use BlastLogic

Planning & engineering

  • Refine drill, charge and timing designs
  • Communicate current design intent and approved changes
  • Review compliance and investigate execution variance
  • Use reconciled evidence to inform subsequent designs
  • Optionally extend design exploration with the BlastMCF add-on to generate and compare design scenarios

Operations & field teams

  • Access dynamic updates to design and execution requirements as conditions change
  • Track hole status and capture QA/QC results
  • Record charging, timing and observations
  • Identify and communicate exceptions before they become hidden variance
  • Return reliable actuals for reconciliation and performance review
  • Manage explosive inventory for all consumables used from magazine to bench

Connect the systems and data behind every blast

BlastLogic brings information from drilling, QA/QC, charging and timing systems into a common operational record, with open integration to other mining systems. This reduces duplicate handling and makes current field data available across connected workflows for dashboards, compliance review and performance analysis.

Operational connections

  • Drill navigation and production drilling data
  • Drilling QA/QC and hole condition records
  • Charging progress and explosives information
  • Timing, tie-up and connection data
  • Field capture through tablet workflows
  • Other site data relevant to blast performance

Analysis & oversight

  • Live operational dashboards using current field data
  • Planned-versus-actual compliance and variance review
  • Reconciliation against downstream performance data
  • Comparison across blasts, benches and operations
  • A central, auditable history of blast activity

BlastMCF

Add-on

Extend BlastLogic with automated design scenario generation for surface operations.

BlastMCF applies site constraints and performance objectives to produce viable options for engineering review. The dedicated BlastMCF page explains how scenarios are generated, compared and refined before entering the wider BlastLogic workflow.
