P&Q University Lesson 4- Drilling & Blasting | Pit & Quarry
Some are of the opinion that because large excavators and haul units are employed, the blastholes should be as large as possible and the drill pattern spread, since larger sizes of blasted rock can be handled. To a certain extent this is true, but it can be argued that the primary purpose in larger excavating and …

Bench blasting is the most widely used method of production blasting in quarrying, strip mining and construction excavation. This involves drilling inclined, vertical or horizontal blastholes in single- or multiple-row patterns to depths ranging from a few meters to 30 m or more, depending on the desired bench height.

Quarrying of Stones : Learn its Methods, Site Selection & Impacts
The art of extracting stones from rock beds is known as quarrying. The quarry is the location where the stones are obtained (such as through digging or blasting). In other words, the process of taking out stones from natural rock beds is known as quarrying. The term quarry is used to indicate the exposed surface of natural rocks.
