  • BLAST HOLE MEASUREMENT AND LOGGING
    Publication number: 20210310349
    Abstract: A blast hole measurement and logging apparatus, which generally comprises a housin configured to operatively house a solid-state LiDAR sensor array configured to transmit and steer pulses of light into a blast hole by shifting a phase of the pulses through the array to compile volumetric data of the sensor's field-of-view. Also included is a processor configured to receive the volumetric data from the LiDAR sensor, the volumetric data indicative of an internal volume of the blast hole which is useable in calculating an explosive charge according to a blast plan, the processor configured to store and/or transmit the volumetric data.
