Blasting specialist BME has launched a mobile, Android-based free blasting guide to enable users to quickly calculate and check blast designs and replace traditional paper booklets carried and referenced by in-field users.

The mobile app includes a blast design calculator, quick calculators and prediction calculators, incorporating metric and imperial unit measurements, as well as features such as surface blast design rules of thumb, environmental guidelines, a table of common rock properties and a BME contact directory per country.

“The new app is an integral part of BME’s pioneering approach to harnessing the power of digital technology in the blasting sector. This platform gives our Blasting Guide a mobility and ease of use that makes a blasting engineer’s job easier and more productive,” says BME software product manager Christiaan Liebenberg.

The app is not, in itself, a blast design tool; however, it provides a means of verifying blast design outputs and making important blast planning decisions.

“The blast design calculator is a series of guiding formulas that allows a blaster or engineer to plan a blast from start to finish,” adds BME global manager: blasting science D Scott Scovira.
