About this course

A hands-on Deswik.OPDB course based on a working open pit metals. You set up the OPDB plugin and hole templates, then design every pattern a bench needs: presplit holes for the full bench and the ramp, a ramp pattern on a contoured grid, a production pattern from the blast master boundary, and trim holes. You then configure the explosives catalogue, create charge standards, charge and tie up the presplit, ramp and production patterns, validate the blast designs, and produce production, blast clearance and blast design plots and exports for the field.
