🔶 Blasting Roles in Mining – Skilled, Critical, and Highly Regulated 💣 Blasting is one of the most important and specialised roles in the mining industry. Blasters are responsible for safely breaking rock to access valuable resources, working with precision timing, advanced technology, and strict safety protocols. These roles involve: ✅ Vibration and noise management ✅ Dust and gas control ✅ Compliance with safety and environmental standards ✅ High attention to detail and coordination with mul

The drill and blast method is a widely used technique in mining operations, particularly in hard rock mining. This process involves two key components: drilling holes into the rock formation and subsequently blasting the rock to facilitate its fragmentation.

The drilling phase utilises specialised equipment to bore holes into the rock, where explosives a

Bringing the boom to Alcoa Highway! This is drone video from the blasting operations next to Alcoa Highway between John Sevier Highway and the UT Medical Center over the weekend. We understand the inconvenience road and lane closures put on travel, but your safety is our priority. Debris from blasts can cover nearby roadways. All roadwork is expected to be complete by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, October 7. The blasting is expected to remove about 11,000 cubic yards of debris, which would fill a little mo
