For instance, if a quarry had a drilling cost of $3 per linear ft. and similar cost per lb. of explosives of $3 per lb. In this case the quarry would reduce the explosive cost of their presplit by $0.21 per sq. ft.. At the same time, their total drilling cost per sq. ft. would increase by $0.51.
The blasting operation involves drilling of holes, installation of a detonator and charge, detonating the charge, and removal of debris. Fig 1: Blasting Operation in Hard Rock. In this article, we discuss how to safely conduct blasting operations in hard rock or soil.

Drilling and blasting is one of the first operations to be carried out in a quarry to gain the material for further processing. The vital process often starts with a detailed survey of the quarry face, which will enable the explosives engineer to design the blast and to plot where the shot holes should be drilled, enabling the task to be carried …
The primary purpose of blasting is to fragment rock, and there are significant rewards for delivering a fragmentation size range that is not only well suited to the mining system it feeds, but also minimizes unsaleable fractions and enhances the value of what can be sold. The outcome of blasting operations is determined by a number of indices …
