Abstract
The primary purposes of drilling and blasting in hard rocks is to fracture solid rock and prepare it for excavation and subsequent transport to the crushing plant. Using explosives in excavation operations without counting for the geology gives no consideration to the quality of the macadam product or the excess production of waste material (fines).
