Maptek PerfectDig provides a true 3D, non-topographic comparison of as-built surfaces against design for improving drill & blast, contract management and site practices.

Improve drill & blast

PerfectDig allows stakeholders to assess blast results and adjust patterns for future activity.

Comparing overhang structures and identifying patterns improves blasts. Viewing the results of a pre-split blast which resulted in remaining material (image 1), highlights issues such as poor fragmentation, over pressure or face bursts.

Measures to avoid these factors can be taken into account in the next drill pattern design.

Result: Better understanding of blast results to improve blast patterns.

When overburden remains after a blast, there is potential for poor fragmentation, casting and vibration. Poor performance impacts downstream processes such as chopping the wall, and increases the wear on equipment excavating to specification.
