What is Blast Hole Drilling?
In theory, blast hole drilling is a very self-explanatory name. However, it refers to a drilling process of drilling down to a specific depth in a certain spot to form a blasting pattern in the rock. Once you have the pattern drilled into the rock, your blasting team can come in and put explosives down the holes. They can rig these holes to blow to break up the rock.
The end goal of the blast hole is to blast larger areas of rock to make them easier to excavate. Drilling and blasting are equally important, and it helps to clear the area where your next project is. You'll end up with a stable foundation to build your next project.
What are the Benefits of Blast Hole Drilling?
There are several benefits that come with employing the blasting process on your project site. They include but are not limited to:
Time
One of the biggest benefits of making blast holes and detonating is the time you save. You can't start your project until you have a stable and safe area. Once you blast the rocks into smaller pieces, it's easy to excavate them out of the area.
Cost
It can be expensive to hire crews to come in and try to break up the rock in other ways. Blasting is relatively quick, and the drilling process is as well. In turn, it can help reduce your overall costs.
Accuracy
Setting up blast patterns gives you a high degree of accuracy. You can use this to achieve optimal results each time you use it.
