Blasting of Rock Masses and Environmental Effects Research Group (BRM&EE-RG)
The development of
technology, increase of population, increase of raw material needs, logistics
demands and transportation problems lead to an increase in excavation works in hard rock environments by
blasting.
Blasting activities are
especially carried out in mine
production activities andi in construction sector for tunnel, road and
foundation excavations in hard rock
masses.
Excavation by blasting are
generally needed when hard rock masses cannot be excavated mechanically. When
such activities are close to residential areas, environmental problems (noise,
vibration, damage to structures, etc.) can be encountered.
Our
research group has been conducting studies on blasting and its environmental
effects for more than 20 years. Our team has provided services to many domestic
and foreign enterprises in our country and region on blasting designs, and
measurement and evaluation of environmental effects for the excavation of hard
rock environments.
