Application of the emulsion explosives in the tunnels construction

What is it about?

The analysis has been made of the technical parameters of the existing passport for drilling and blasting operations (DBO) in terms of compliance with labour safety requirements and scientific-technical standards. The methodology for constructing the DBO passport has been developed, which takes into account the areas of blast-hole groups and the properties of emulsion explosives. The type of the cut has been analysed, modelled and accepted for use, which corresponds to the conditions of tunnelling as much as possible. The zones of deformation and fracturing in the massif around blast-hole charges have been simulated. The level of decrease in the hazard index for atmospheric air has been set when using the emulsion explosive Ukrainit-PP instead of TNT-containing charge – Ammonite No.6 ZhV.
