• A database incorporating all the major manufacturers products. In Australia both Orica and Dyno products are covered.
• A simple custom product interface allowing the user to add new product ranges and create custom products.
• Create and edit drill patterns using templates and standard patterns.
• Directly import drill patterns and pit shells from all the main design packages such as Vulcan, Surpac, Datamine, Minescape etc.
• Native 3-D capability. View and manipulate drill patterns and pit shells in three dimensions.
• Simple tie-up process using auto-tie generation feature.
• Simulation of initiation design including ( Angle of Initiation; Direction of movement; Relief; Holes per delay for ground vibration prediction)
• Create charge standards using a drag and drop interface to design specific hole by hole explosives loading.
• Apply charge standards to blast hole to create load sheets.
• Use graphical timing objects to design initiation sequences for electronic detonator systems.
• Apply timing to defined zones to enable multiple independent deck firing.
• Predict ground vibration using weighted scaled distance calculations that allow for all charge decks in space and time.

Blast Management International BLASTPLAN v1.4.2.0

BLAST MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL provides drill and blast consulting services to the surface and underground mining, quarry and construction industries. BMI operates as an association of independent blasting engineers using a combination of employed staff and associate consultants. BMI specialises in the development and implementation of drill and blast management systems covering all aspects of explosives storage, transport and use. BMI staff each have over twenty five years industry experience in all types of drill and blast operations in Australia and internationally.

BLASTPLAN is a graphically based initiation design and simulation package for Shotfirers and Drill and Blast Engineers. BLASTPLAN has all the functionality expected from a modern 3-D CAD based application with a simple and clean interface. Experience in designing previous initiation packages such as SHOTPlan and BlastPRO has enabled BMI, the developers of BLASTPLAN, to deliver a package that is usable and effective across a wide range of users from blast crew to senior design engineers.
