(1) Depth of Hole:
Usually, when drilling for loading explosives and
blasting, it is necessary to subdrill below the
desired final bottom or floor elevation. This
extra depth is dependent on the blasting design.
Normally, 2 or 3 ft of extra depth is required.
Therefore, if the depth to the finish grade is 25 ft

(5) Blow Hole:
After the actual drilling is completed, it is
good practice to blow out the hole to
ensure that all cuttings are removed.
Some drillers prefer to drill an extra foot
and to pull the drill out without blowing the
hole clean
NOTE: It is customary to use 0.1 min for
the blow hole time, unless otherwise
specified for a particular site conditions
and drill type.

(6) Move to Next Hole:
(6) Move to Next Hole:
The time required to move between drill hole
locations is a function of the distance (blasting
pattern) and the terrain.
Track-mounted rotary-percussion drills have
travel speeds of from 1 to 3 mph. However,
because the hole spacing is often less than 20
ft and the operator is maneuvering to place the
drill over an exact spot, the travel speed is so
low
A speed of 0.25 mph can be used.

Track-mounted rotary-percussion drills have travel speeds of from 1 to 3 mph. However, because the hole spacing is often less than 20 ft and the operator is maneuvering to place the drill over an exact spot, the travel speed is so low A speed of 0.25 mph can be used.
