Blast timing using electronic detonators – what delay values to choose?

The flexibility in programming electronic detonators, the accuracy of modern electronic detonators and their ability to fire at exceptionally long delays compared to pyrotechnic detonators has provided some dilemma to users concerning their choice of delays when designing the timing for a blast. Coupled to this complexity are advanced software tools for designing and analysing blast timing designs, which are often not used to their full capability.

Getting better mining insights

Capturing, processing and applying data from inaccessible areas is now easier than ever thanks to the partnership between Maptek PointStudio and Emesent Hovermap. In this webinar we'll show you how to leverage these technologies to better capture data from previously inaccessible areas, including beyond-visual-line-of-sight and in GPS-denied environments such as stopes, orepasses, and raises. You'll also learn how to efficiently process the data using custom workflows to generate more accurate information for decision making. Hosted by Maptek and Emesent.
