Blast hole drilling is a technique used in mining where holes are drilled into rock, packed with explosives, and detonated. The seminar discusses the blast hole drilling process, which involves drilling holes, loading explosives into the holes, detonating the explosives to blast the rock, ventilating smoke and fumes, removing blasted rock, and installing ground support.

LIMESTONE CO., Ala. ()— On Wednesday, the company working on a rock quarry in Limestone County received a restraining order to stop drilling and blasting rock.It's the last ditch effort from residents to keep it out of their neighborhood. The order against Grayson Carter and Son stops it from blasting or drilling rock in Belle Mina on Mooresville Road.

In quarries and mines, the drilling and the blasting activities is an essentially fundamental way of excavating rock. The blasting process is an integral and important part of mining operations and is intrinsically destructive for a variety of different reasons, notably efficiency, cost effectiveness and the capacity to shatter away even the most solid rock.

The geological situation has, however, made extraction a more difficult task: the remaining limestone strata are interlayered with shale. Due to this, quarrying with conventional methods such as drilling and blasting would have led to contamination of the material. Ash Grove therefore decided to use a Wirtgen Surface Miner from NAM for the job.
