Middle East: Drill and Blast Technical Audit and Process Management

Click images to enlarge

Blast Management International has been engaged by a significant producer of fossil fuels in the Middle East to assist in improving and sustaining their Drill and Blast performance.

This project was initiated in late 2023 with an on-site system audit comprising of both assessing current processes and procedures alongside drill and blast outcomes.

As a result of the findings, BMI has initiated the first stage of its proprietary ‘Integrated Drill and Blast Management System’ (BMIMS). This system tailors procedures, processes, and compliance tools for mining groups or individual sites, which are based on a digital platform. This allows activities to be audited in real time (on bench) with results (positive/negative) to be flagged and uploaded to dashboards such that the operations management can oversee corrective actions.

BMI is convinced that its proprietary BMIMS will result in measurable improvements in blast performance and environmental impact, leading to enhanced operational safety, efficiencies, productivities, and economies.

BMI has recently been invited to provide an independent and expert review of documents and evidence provided with regards a trench blast in close proximity to private residences.

The blast produced significant flyrock, resulting in property damage and personal injury, and was under investigation for possible negligence in the application of regulated and best practice standards to the drill and blast function.

From the information given, and application of well understood theoretical principles and abovementioned regulations and practices, BMI provides an assessment on the Blast and the Root Causes of the incident.

BMI will be embarking on a program of on-site auditing and training at a large base metals operation in Eastern Europe.

Starting in July 2024, this will entail site visits to establish how the operation can bring its Drilling and Blasting operations up to Global Best Practices in order to increase throughput, productivity and efficiency,

In doing so, BMI will assess the overall state of D&B, and recommend an optimal model for its D&B operations. BMI will be recommending a program to implement its Integrated Drill and Blast Management System (BMIMS) to ensure findings are implemented in a manner such that operational efficiencies and continuous improvement will carry forward for LOM.

BMI Introduces Blasting in Agricultural Applications Training

Click images to enlarge

Blasting in Agricultural applications requires very specific additional information and skills to those of conventional drill and blast in mining operations.

Agricultural blasting covers a wide variety of techniques including trenching, ditching, stump blasting, boulder blasting, and the creation of dams, sumps and wells.

Given our knowledge, BMI Africa has contributed to the development of the BMI Course “Agricultural Blasting Operations” for the Australian market. While directed at Australia whose regulations require specific competencies for Agricultural Blasting, the content is no less relevant for use in similar applications in Africa. This training and reference material should be considered as ‘Go-To’ resources for those with activities in this field.
