Are there built-in features to ensure that blast designs comply with safety regulations, maximum vibration thresholds and airblast limits? How does the software alert users to potential non-compliance?

This question was raised during the live session of GEOVIA CONNECT 25X: Rethink What’s Possible in Mine Planning and Design for Open Pit. If you were unable to attend, the session is now available on demand at the link below.

Compliance can be handled by defining limits such as maximum simultaneous charge in line with regulatory thresholds and empirical vibration/air blast models. To do this properly, the models must be calibrated with site-specific seismograph data so that realistic limits and predictions are set for that operation. Technically, implementing these constraints and checks is straightforward for the team, and the functionality can be configured according to each client’s regulatory environment and risk priorities.
