  • Apparatus, method and computer program product for designing blasting order
    Patent number: 11644292
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for designing a blasting sequence for a drilling pattern of a round. The apparatus (11) is configured to assist selecting one or more drill holes (3) for each time delay of the blast. The apparatus calculates burst volume (VB) for the selected drill hole set (34) and ensures that previously blasted free volume (VF) can receive it when being fired. The apparatus may also take into account burst angles burst distances and ground vibrations when suggesting the drill hole sets.
    Type: Grant

  • Arrangement for assigning and drilling bore holes
    Patent number: 10392863
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for assigning drill holes. The apparatus is arranged to determine a forthcoming position of a bottom of a new drill hole before it is drilled. The forthcoming position of the drill hole bottom is determined on the basis of the current location and direction of a tool and a planned length of the drill hole.
