FACTORS AFFECTING BENCH DRILLING
Rock properties Bench height Hole diameter Demands on Fragmentation Environmental restrictions
Training 2002
BENCH HEIGHT
Training 2002
BENCH HEIGHT
Drilling Equipment Hole diameter (Smaller holes, lower benches) Normal bench height 10-15 m
Training 2002
HOLE DIAMETER
Fragmentation Ground vibrations Need for selective rock excavation
Training 2002
FRAGMENTATION
Downstream operation Loading equipment Filling level of trucks Larger holes give coarser fragmentation
Training 2002
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS
Ground vibrations Fly rock Air blast

TERMINOLOGY IN BENCH DRILLING
Training 2002
BENCH HEIGHT Less benches to construct and maintain Less sub drilling Less boulders
Training 2002
BENCH HEIGHT Less benches to construct and maintain Less sub drilling Less boulders Better hole accuracy Higher penetration rate over the hole depth Maximised burden/spacing
Training 2002
INCLINATION OF DRILL HOLES
+ Reduced drilling and explosive costs due to increased burden + More stable bench edge + Less risk for back break Increased risk of hole deviation
