Open Pit Drill & Blast

Fast, efficient drill and blast design for surface mining methods.

Key Features

SUPERIOR DESIGN TOOLS
Intuitive layout of drillholes considers previous design and geological structures. Rapidly generate drill patterns using pre-defined hole templates then manually adjust as required to final design.
DRILL PATTERN MANAGER
Construct hole templates with design parameters such as fixed or variable collar or toe spacing, angle changes and variable toe horizons. Audit drill patterns against blast hole distribution and location constraints.
DYNAMIC UPDATING
Update holes layouts against survey and design changes and fast and intuitive hole numbering. Copy designs between patterns – the new design automatically adjusts to the surfaces of the next pattern.
BLASTPLAN READY
Export design data ready for direct import into BMI’s BlastPlan Pro blast design software. Create hole charging plans, design of tie-up plans and load sheets.
FLEXIBLE PLOTTING SOLUTIONS
Plot any combination of plan and section views for drill pattern designs. Rapidly set up plot templates with tables referencing key design information that updates for each plotted drill design.
DATA EXPORTING
Export to various data formats and upload the design directly to the drill rig. Distribute drill designs and GPS guidance files to surveyors in either DXF or CSV formats.
