The mystery of Mining engineer Tools: Drilling and Blasting
I will be sharing knowledge on most important aspect of Mining Engineering, which is Drilling and blasting. Actually, I always considered this as the most important aspect because as a Mining Engineer this is our tool, this is the only aspect that other Engineers can never share with us as a Miner. This aspect is wide and extend to various other Fields. Some of which are: 1.Petroleum in terms of casing perforation, Exploration (seismic survey) among other applications 2. Civil engineering works in the aspect of road construction ( road obstacle rock fragmentation), subsurface liquidification/compaction to mention few. 3. Borehole drilling: most time during Borehole drilling bed rock encountered are fragmented by blasting. This is just few out of the application of drilling and blasting in other Fields. What is Drilling? Drilling is the creation of artificial hole into rock by man controlled or automated machines without the admittance of man in the hole. M...
