Mine hard rock excavation with no blasting
Revista del Instituto de Investigación de la Facultad de Ingeniería Geológica, Minera, Metalúrgica y Geográfica, 2009 Drilling and blasting is generally used for fragmenting hard in situ rock in mine excavation. This method however, in addition of being expensive, it causes environmental pollution by noice, dust, vibrations and gases. It may also generate social conflicts with native communities around the mining operation as it disturbs and alters the inhabitants ...
