DetailsWe contact any local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency response prior to blasting operations. In addition, we contact anyone within a 300 foot radius from a blasting operation. This is done verbally and/or by letter. This is standard for any project we do. Permits for blasting are also handled by McCallum Rock Drilling.
DetailsQuarries 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.
DetailsDrilling and blasting is one of the first operations to be carried out in a quarry to gain the material for further processing. The vital process often starts with a detailed survey of the quarry face, which will enable the explosives engineer to design the blast and to plot where the shot holes should be drilled, enabling the task to be carried …
DetailsMines and quarries increasingly need to produce more with less. Streamlining drill and blast routines can improve safety and productivity, and reduce operational costs. It can be a challenge to …
DetailsFor instance, if a quarry had a drilling cost of $3 per linear ft. and similar cost per lb. of explosives of $3 per lb. In this case the quarry would reduce the explosive cost of their presplit by $0.21 per sq. ft.. At the same time, their total drilling cost per sq. ft. would increase by $0.51.
