WELLHOLE BLASTING

Specialty Definition: WELLHOLE BLASTING

DomainDefinition

Mining

A method of quarry blasting in which the explosive charges are placed in rows of vertical holes. Source: European Union. (references)
 This type of blasting is virtually benching on a large scale. The depth and burden of the holes are much greater, and in consequence, the hole diameter must also be increased to ensure sufficient concentration of the explosive charge. Wellhole blasting is used in limestones esp. if the beds are horizontal and well-defined. It is not often used in highly abrasiveigneous rocks because of the cost of drilling. (references)
