Blasting work is only implemented when blasting log is made and approved by competent authorities. Blasting log must be executed according to regulations and technical requirements. 2.5.1.3. Regulations for blasting work of foundation Before blasting for IB and IA zone, must implement pilot blasting. Pilot blasting is implemented for optimum mesh blasting and to reduce volume of oversize rock, estimate parameter of edge blasting, and spacing of blasting need to implement according to regulations and technical requirements, Excavation of rock and soil of construction grade II must excavate according to steps with height not over 10m, Distance to design boundary is 2m, then conduct edge drilling with small boreholes. Excavation of soil and rock after explosion is conducted according to design requirement for foundation and must be accepted by the acceptance board after clearing the ground, This work need to be completed before implement other works. Borcholes for edge are set on a plan along length of slope and parallel to each other, estimated by professional drill equipments. Errors of boreholes compared with edge in the plan are not over 1.Sem for Im length of borehole. To protect the edge, explosion holes are drilled far from the edge with the distance equal 15 time of diameter of mine and has volume less than number of explosive holes that far from the edge. ‘The explosive charge in the hole must be very carefully, do not compress and throw charge equipments on the primer bag. Prohibit the use of clumps or combustible materials to plug mine holes. Length of charge hole is according to design blasting log. Length of charge can choose by 25 time of diameter of mine, In the narrow foundation, length can increasing to 30 + 35 time of diameter of mine. After exploding, if there are some mute explosion holes then the commander let implement treatment immediately by exploding auxiliary explosion hole that are drilled parallel and 30cm far from explosion hole. Commander recommends number and location of auxiliary explosion holes. To estimate direction of auxiliary drill hole may be taken material of charge a segment with a length not over 20cm from the inlet of borehole. When making blasting log, need base on feature of specified rock, methods, feature of dynamite using to calculate safety distance between people and equipments from explosion area. For existing construction or equipments that cannot move to other location, it is necessary to have a method to protect this constructions and equipments, or recalculation, reduce the quantity of dynamite Design Manager Technical Manager 26 SCI Hoang The Vinh Ngo Vu AnBasic Design Nam Mo 2 Hydropower Project Volume V - Part 1: Specification of Civil Work to ensure for constructions and equipments. When making the explosion blasting log, it need to calculate safety radius of vibrating and airwave and distance of throw of rocks to peoples and equipments. To calculate safety distance from vibrating position during explosion, this formula can be used: Rake VO (m) In which: — Ke: Coefficient depends on properties of rock foundation. + Monolithic rock: K=3 + Jointed rock: K=5 +Gravel mixed Rock: K=7 — a1: coefficient depends on indicator of affected explosion “‘n”: +Ifns0.5 then 01.2 +Ifn=1.0 then o=1.0 +f n=2.0 then o=0.8 — Q Dynamite volume (kg) To ensure safety during calculate the splash distance of rock by explosion,take safety radius Ra(m) can be taken as following table: 200 300 350 100 150, 250 2.0 200 400 500 100 200 350 4.0 300 500 700 150 250 500 6.0 300 600 800 | 150 300 550 Calculation of the safety distance take into account affects of airwave can use this formula: Ras=ks YQ (m) In which: — ks: coefficient depends on conditions of distribution, capacity of explosion, level of damage (while Q<10.000 kg can choose k= 50+150). While choose safety distance, it needs to select the biggest value in the calculation of safety distances of vibrating, and airwave, and the splash of rock. The blasting log is calculated and it is not smaller to these values: — Affix explosion: Rat 2300m — Explosion in small hole: Rat2200m — Explosion in big hole: Rat2200m Design Manager Technical Manager 27 SCI Hoang The Vinh Ngo Vu AnBasic Design Nam Mo 2 Hydropower Project Volume V - Part 1: Specification of Civil Work To ensure the safety for dynamite storages, detonator storage according to specific stipulation of current safety regulation for building, maintain, and dynamite using. When explosion near concrete structures or grouted cement area, if the distance from explosion area to this place is smaller than 30m then it is necessary ti have an agreement to Employer. Before explosion, it needs check the safety conditions depends on rate of relevant weight, distance is applied for vibration test. General rule for integrity guarantee of concrete structure is critical velocity of particle or details of concrete structure can refer experience values and velocity do not over these values as following: 0.25 0.50 1.00 1.50 2.50 2.5.2. Design Manager | ‘Technical Manager 28 S | Hoang The Vinh Ngo Vu An | 4.00 If the explosion near earth cofferdam then ensure that the velocity of particle do not over 5 cm/sec. Commander of blasting work and authorized persons will check the blasting performance. To continue blasting, it need to invite surveyor to check the suitable of work to design or blasting log. Result of test must be recorded in the daily construction daily log. Check the blasting work: — After finishing the drilling work, it must measure depth and diameter, and location of borehole according to plan and section. — Checking the result after blasting, pay special attention to areas where mute mines are suspected as well as areas where explosive rock has collapsed — During excavation process, soft rock and soil need to estimate percentage of oversize rock to require treatment as well as check the foundation surface and slope. Afier excavating all the explosive soil, the as-built diagram must be drawn. Affix explosion During blasting to excavate foundation or mine material, there are some rock which have oversize. Therefore, to explosive this big rock, we can use affix explosion method to reduce cost of drilling. — Affix explosions must be flat, and should locate at the flat surface, or hollow position of rock block to reach the maximum exposure.Basic Design Nam Mo 2 Hydropower Project Volume V - Part 2.5.3. 2.5.4, Specification of Civil Work — If using the explosion as plaster material then it must make boxes form in elastic cover and fixed at the specified rock. Using clay soil to cover outer surface of mine. — When exploding, must calculate volume of dynamite enough to break the rock and the particle with the shortest splash distance. — When blasting, rock fragments can have long splash distance, so special attention to calculate the amount of explosives to ensure absolute safety for peoples and equipments. Blasting work for mining at quarry Blasting work for mining at quarry use mainly explosion method with borehole diameter of 105. Base on equipments, transportation for each explosion time, and calculation volume of dynamite for each time to ensure safety according to regulations on safety in blasting work.
