In July of 2016, at a granite quarry in the Southeast United States, current drill patterns were a 13x13 with 3’ of subdrill using a 5.75” blast hole. The average pounds per hole was 598. The seismograph, measuring vibration, is located within 700ft from the blast. SHA (Signature Hole Analysis) was being utilized to delay shots.

Safe Drilling and Blasting for Small Mines and Quarries
Safe Drilling and Blasting for Small Mines and Quarries. Many small mines and quarries rely on contractors to conduct drilling and blasting at their site. Contractors bring a level of expertise in drill and blast that many sites do not have amongst their workforce. Like all workers, however, contractors need to be managed to ensure they comply

Typically, the minimum setting on most primary crushers will be about 4 to 6 inches, as noted above. Compression-style jaw, cone, impact crushers, and gyratory crushers are most often appropriate as primary crushing equipment types, though there can be overlap between primary and secondary crushers as far as suitable types. 2.

Health & Safety across the quarrying and quarry products industry
Currently, most quarries determine a blast danger zone (exclusion zone) based on a combination of experience and practicality. This often results in the specification of ‘a danger zone of convenience’, typically set to the boundary of the quarry. This method may lead to danger zones that do not reflect the actual risk involved with the process.
· Compression crushers – which squeeze the material until it breaks. Impact crushers – which use the principle of rapid impact to shatter material. A ttrition crushers – which use both impact and grinding to shear material. Jaw crushers, cone crushers, gyratory crushers and roll crushers all operate on the compression principle.
