Design Blasts with Safety and Efficiency in Mind
Improve blasts with better rock fragmentation, reduce the possibility of fly rock, and lower operational costs. Carlson BlastOPS supports the precision and calculation necessary for the utmost blast efficiency. Work with point clouds to develop meshes, create blast pattern layouts, and ensure proper burden and borehole spacing for more productive blasting and project site optimization.
BlastOPS can be used in both simple and comprehensive blast designs and can be paired with traditional survey methods – Quarryman Laser Profiler as well as drone surveys – Carlson Photo Capture using its built in photogrammetry and point cloud engine for a complete bench production workflow.
Features
Cloud and Mesh Editing
• Register and consolidate multiple scans
• Remove anomalies with cloud cleaning tools
• Filter meshes to remove the unnecessary data
Pattern Layout
• Design blast patterns using standard parameters
• Optimize the pattern with burden measurements and inspection tools
• Compare blast designs to as-drilled hole surveys
Data Extraction
• Determine burden and topography in 3D
• Generate clean surfaces, hole coordinates, volumes, and profiles
• Draw inclusion lines to indicate blast perimeter
