$75.00 US Free Shipping The 2nd edition and third printing of the popular Rock Blasting and Overbreak Control
Manual is now available. Written by Dr. Calvin J. Konya and Dr. Edward J. Walter. The text includes blast design, pattern design, overbreak control, site conditions and field procedures,
applications, vibration and seismic waves, an inspector's guide, and much more. The Blaster's Guide $29.00 US Free Shipping
The Blaster's Guide provides methods to quickly estimate burden, spacing, stemming and subdrilling as well as explosive loads, timing deck thickness etc. The first section of the guide
provides a series of tables that, with little effort, can be used to determine average blast design dimensions. Additional forms are also given for blasting plans, seismic monitoring
reports and blasting logs. The guide will enable the blaster to estimate dimensions in the field as well as provide the necessary forms for control of blasting operations.

A 2-Hour Comprehensive Introduction to the Science of Explosives- This training video is presented by Dr. Calvin J. Konya. Dr. Konya is the founder and
president of Precision Blasting Services and received his Ph.D. in Mining Engineering from the University of Missouri at Rolla. The video is available in VHS format for NTSC (North American), PAL or SECAM system.
The video covers the sources of the two distinct types of explosives energy, the manner in which the maximum energy is released, methods to identify problem explosive mixtures, the
manner in which the shock and explosives energy breaks rock, the different blasting parameters and their effects on the mechanics of breakage, the effects of geological features
on breakage, and the method in which fracturing occurs. Guide Specifications for Surface and Underwater Blasting $35.00 US Free Shipping |
