- Limestone Quarry Drilling And Blasting Techniques
The primary purpose of blasting is to fragment rock, and there are significant rewards for delivering a fragmentation size range that is not only well suited to the mining system it feeds, but also minimizes unsaleable fractions and enhances the value of what can be sold. The outcome of blasting operations is determined by a number of indices …

Obviously, drilling and blasting are not used in the quarry, and the extraction process (in a bench of 8 m) is carried out using conventional earth moving equipment (hydraulic excavator with 3.3 tons capacity bucket) that loads the sand and gravel into trucks of 33 tons for transferring to the processing plant (Fig. 5.46).

Block no. 1 contains high-quality limestone and has relatively desirable geological and tectonic conditions as well as joints and cracks. As seen in Table 3, the final F 80 is 658.24 mm, which is very close to the entrance of the crusher, i.e. 60 cm. Therefore, the suitable blasting conditions in this block could be identified based on figures …

wet environment, where the explosives costs can be as much as 70 percent of the total drilling and blasting expense. Blasting vibrations and air blast concerns may have a direct influence on which blasting program the opera-tor may select. Because of such constraints, the blaster may need to impose limits on quantity of explosives per

Quarries are generally operated by forming benches according to the open pit mining method. In this production method, considering the state of geological structures in the field, the rocks (limestone, basalt, etc.) loosened by drilling and blasting applications are subjected to size reduction, loading and transportation processes.

The quarry becomes deeper with each subsequent bench, with stepped benches reaching up to the original surface. With few exceptions, modern quarries rely on drilling and blasting to fragment the rock, which is then loaded onto offhighway trucks or belt conveyors for transport to a processing plant of some sort.

A significant factor which has limited the use of pre-splitting is the cost involved. Drilling holes at 1m spacings and then charging them with detonating cord is a very expensive and labour-intensive procedure. Most quarries do not have the drilling capacity to cope with both production and pre-split holes, so hiring in may be necessary.
