Objectives (course unit)
Aims
The course gives the students sufficient skills of blasting work and safety regulations that they can take the written exam required for the blaster certificate. Using tables, the students are able to design bench blasting and to interpret blasting designs created by others.
The students get sufficient knowledge of blasting work to be able to act as the representative of the orderer or contractor in blasting work, and as a designer are able to set the quality demands for the blasting work and its environment.
Because blasting takes place in various construction projects, the course focuses on environment and quality demands – especially vibration – of blasting work.
Content (course unit)
Basic concepts of blasting, and the basis of field planning using tables, blasting explosives, ignition systems and safety demands.
Personal qualifications of blasting, safety regulations and instructions. The effect of vibration on buildings, risk analysis, inspections, defining the value accepted for buildings and vibration measurements.
Basics of underground blasting and reinforcing bedrock, underwater blasting, blasting for crushing, blasting for dimension stones and other themes through examples.
