I will design and optimize drill and blast patterns for mines


About this gig
I provide professional drill and blast design services for open-pit and underground mining operations. As a Mining Engineer, I help clients improve fragmentation, safety, productivity, and blasting efficiency through optimized blast designs.
My services include blast pattern design, burden and spacing calculations, powder factor determination, explosive quantity estimation, hole depth recommendations, and firing sequence optimization. I can also review existing blast designs and provide practical recommendations to improve performance, reduce costs, and minimize operational risks.
Whether you operate a quarry, limestone mine, open-pit mine, or underground operation, I deliver accurate calculations, technical reports, blast layouts, and engineering support tailored to your project requirements.
