The software also features quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) tools to allow engineers to identify the most efficient blast design to ensure the required outcome. SHOTPlus is designed to meet the needs of underground mining applications, delivering an improved interactive 3D environment and enhanced visualisation. Optimising the explosives loading and initiation design and producing clear instructions to blasting crews requires a specialised software solution. Underground production blasting typically requires geometrically complex ring patterns. “Ring to ring and hole to hole interactions and overall blast dynamics are at your fingertips, allowing users to optimise and maximise output, benefit and results,” he said. This follows successful trials by Orica’s technical services teams, with Orica global digital products senior manager Angelo Labriola stating that the latest SHOTPlus has been fully re-written.ĭesigning, analysing and visualising in 3D has never been easier, according to Labriola. The new software is designed for advanced underground blast design and complex blasting scenarios. Orica has released the latest blast design and modelling software for underground mining applications, SHOTPlus Underground.
