Blasting Engineering
« Safety, efficiency and measurable results »
Our commitment is to transform explosive energy into measurable results. We design and supervise controlled blasts that protect the environment, safeguard critical structures and generate significant savings in open-pit and underground mining operational costs.
Why BlastArt?
In mining blasting operations, only a small percentage of explosive energy is effectively used for rock fragmentation. The rest is lost to uncontrolled vibrations, collateral damage and risks to nearby structures. This means additional costs, lower production efficiency and safety risks that directly impact the profitability of your mining operation.
Our blasting consulting maximizes the use of explosive energy through intelligent drill pattern designs, advanced vibration analysis and real-time monitoring technology. We achieve blast optimization with significant savings in operational costs, protect critical structures and ensure the environmental sustainability of every mining project.
Our Services
Drilling & Blasting Consulting
Optimized drill pattern design, blast vibration control and monitoring, and on-site technical supervision. Every controlled blast is planned to maximize rock fragmentation and minimize environmental impact in open-pit and underground mining operations.
Mining Geotechnics & Slope Stability
Slope stability studies, geotechnical risk analysis and advanced geotechnical monitoring with state-of-the-art instrumentation. We guarantee structural safety at every stage of your mining project.
Blasting Training & Knowledge Transfer
In-person and virtual training programs designed for your technical team. We cover everything from drilling and blasting fundamentals to advanced vibration monitoring and blast optimization techniques.
Geotechnical Instrumentation
Risk diagnosis and monitoring objectives; sensor selection (inclinometers, piezometers, extensometers, radar), network design, installation, calibration and data platform for early warnings and operational control.
Data Analysis & KPIs
We integrate equipment and production data; define KPIs (ROP, deviation, availability, cost/meter, fragmentation, haul cycle, crushing throughput), dashboards and analytics to detect losses and prioritize improvements.
QA/QC Drilling & Blasting
We audit design vs execution: borehole accuracy, loading, initiation, timing, vibrations and fragmentation. We standardize field and office controls, databases and reports for continuous improvement of the mine-to-plant cycle.
Holistic Mining Control
We create an integrated system connecting geotechnics, drilling-blasting, loading-hauling and plant: standards, KPIs, QA/QC, risk management and governance routines. Aligning people, processes and data toward business goals.
Underground Ventilation
Design and optimization of primary and secondary ventilation: airflow calculation, circuits, losses, fan and duct selection, contaminant and heat control. Includes gas monitoring, safety and efficiency.
Operational Cost Reduction
We intervene on-site with process and time mapping, resource balancing and loss sampling. We identify bottlenecks and overconsumption; design quick wins and a measurable immediate savings plan.

FLAC3D Stress Analysis
We model the rock mass in 3D and evaluate stresses, deformations and plastic zones; verify bolts, mesh, shotcrete and frames against operational scenarios. We deliver prioritized reinforcement and mitigation recommendations.
Mining & Civil Works Management
Comprehensive project and operations management: planning, schedule and cost control, contracts, risk management, quality, safety and commissioning. We implement best practices and robust management dashboards.
Economic Cost Evaluation
We structure OPEX by processes (mine and plant), fixed/variable and cost centers; analyze energy, maintenance, consumables and labor cost drivers. We build budget models, deviation analysis and comparable scenarios.
