BlastQuest is a blasting company and offers bulk blasting for the Mining and Quarrying industry as well as the civil industry. Blast Quest is also involved in quarry blasting such as dimension stone quarries. Bulk blasting requirements in quarry operations often require the removal of large amount of rock and rubble in order to expose a solid rock formation which is suitable for the dimension stone industry. These rock formations are mechanically cut into large blocks of stone before they are further processed and polished. The aim of bulk blasting in the civil industry is mainly to remove large quantities of rock for the purpose of preparing or levelling a construction site and not to expose a mineral or rock formation. Unlike mine or quarry blasting, civil blasting is not done for the sole purpose of mining or exposing a product but it is for the sole purpose of breaking, removing, excavating or demolishing rock and concrete of various sizes and amounts. The challenge in civil blasting is that more accuracy is required since many civil operations are in or close to public infrastructure. As a blasting company, BlastQuest as a blasting company specialises in this type of blasting and enjoys the fact that no one blast is ever the same. One of the most common requirements for civil blasting companies is for the purpose of hard rock excavation through trench blasting. BlastQuest has developed unique trench drilling and blasting methodologies and techniques to ensure that the correct level is maintained while safely and quickly blasting away rock. BlastQuest is often required to conduct box cutting in order to blast out specific sizes and depths of rock for the purpose of excavating hard rock to prepare the construction of sumps, dams or reservoirs. With the current infrastructure growth seen in Africa BlastQuest has been involved in many road construction projects. Often blasting is required for the planned road to maintain a certain level or to excavate hard rock under the planned road surface thus ensuring better road preparation. The most challenging aspect of road cutting for any blasting company is blasting through slopes, hills or large rock formations. BlastQuest believes the trick here lies with the choice of perfect drilling leaving symmetrical drill lines in the completed face or for the more natural look where there are very few drill line visible only rugged rock formations. Blasting rock in such a tunnel requires special drilling and blasting patterns in order not to disrupt the infrastructure overhead. BlastQuest as a blasting company has experienced tunnelers which will deliver a safe and precise blast. The challenge facing blasting companies is to break exposed rock and boulders with very few explosives. Too much explosives will generate large amounts of fly rock endangering humans and buildings. BlastQuest has developed three specialised techniques dependant upon the situation to break boulders safely and effectively. Building demolition is the use of explosives to destroy a man made structure with accuracy and safety. Demolitions require careful planning and preparation work in order to implode the buildi
