NIRM provides innovative solutions to challenging problems in blasting for various mining and civil engineering projects. The Institute has developed various techniques to optimise blast design parameters for surface and underground excavations. Several controlled blasting operations have been successfully devised and experimented by this group. Services provided by this group icnlude :

• Optimisation of blast design parameters
• Monitoring & control of ground vibration and air overpressure
• Control of and flyrock
• Controlled blasting
• Development of blasting techniques and instrumentation
• Extraction of dimensional stone
