FREE TOOLS
Tools you can use on the spot
Browser tools for designing a shot, then proving what it did: design, timing, vibration, flyrock, fragmentation and blast-video forensics. Free, no sign-up. Nothing you open is uploaded. If one saves you an hour, send it to a colleague.
The Blast Intelligence Suite
The suite is built for a laptop or larger screen. Every tool opens with a worked example already loaded and nothing you open leaves your computer.
01 Design and predict
Before the shot. Design the pattern, predict what it will do, and prove the exclusion zone.
Forge
Blast design calculator
Pattern geometry, charging, powder factor, specific energy and borehole pressure: the numbers that set everything else.
Open Blast design calculatorLattice
Drill pattern designer
Set the pattern out on the ground, then look at it in section, because the burden the rock has to break is at the toe.
Open Drill pattern designerDolmen Beta
3D drill pattern design
Design holes against a surveyed surface or boundary in three dimensions; export DXF, Surpac strings and a hole table.
Open 3D drill pattern designSequence
Timing and initiation designer
Lay out the delays, then see the isochrons, the burden relief in ms per metre and the direction the rock is being told to go.
Open Timing and initiation designerEnvelope
Flyrock and exclusion zones
Three independent flyrock models and a ballistic shroud, so the exclusion distance you post is one you can defend.
Open Flyrock and exclusion zonesTremor
Vibration, airblast and site law
Fit the site law to your own monitoring history, then predict vibration and airblast at any receptor with a stated probability of exceedance.
Open Vibration, airblast and site lawGrain
Fragmentation prediction
Kuz-Ram and Swebrec from the design, with the rock factor exposed rather than buried, and oversize called out.
Open Fragmentation prediction
02 Post-blast forensics
After the shot. Measure what actually moved, from video, with a defensible noise floor.
BlastScope
Blast movement
Did the material in this area physically move, by how much, when relative to initiation, and how confident can you be?
Open Blast movementBlastScope
Wall movement detection
Screen final walls, ramps and benches for blast-induced movement, and rank which zones warrant inspection.
Open Wall movement detectionBlastScope
Stemming effectiveness
Which holes did not perform, why, and what to check on the charge sheet before the next shot.
Open Stemming effectivenessBlastScope
Fragmentation analysis
Size the visible muckpile at full source resolution, and refuse to report a distribution the image cannot support.
Open Fragmentation analysisBlastScope
Timing contours
Draw the design isochrons over the footage, then measure whether the rock went where the timing said it should.
Open Timing contours
03 Advanced analytics
The hard questions. Waveform forensics, wave-field simulation and muckpile reconstruction.
Wave Forensics Beta
Vibration waveform forensics
A fourteen-step investigation of a single vibration record: what the monitor saw, whether to trust it, and what actually drove the peak.
Open Vibration waveform forensicsRipple
Wave field and monitor synthesis
Watch the wavefronts leave every hole and interfere, then drop a monitor anywhere in the field and see the trace it would record.
Open Wave field and monitor synthesisCascade Beta
Throw and muckpile simulation
Launch a bench in section from the energy the explosive partitions into moving it, watch the muckpile build, and compare it with what BlastScope measured.
Open Throw and muckpile simulation
04 Academy
See it, then know it. Animated explanations of the physics behind every number above.
Academy
Fifteen live lessons
The physics behind every tool, as fifteen live simulations with the governing parameter on a slider. Animation first, words second.

QUICK CALCULATORS
Three quick calculators
Powder factor
Charge per hole and powder factor (kg/m³ and kg/t) from hole diameter, charge length, explosive density and pattern.
Open about Powder factorScaled distance and vibration estimate
Scaled distance, an estimated peak particle velocity, and the largest charge per delay that meets a limit at a given distance.
Open about Scaled distance and vibration estimateFirst-pass pattern from hole diameter
Burden, spacing, stemming and subdrill as rule-of-thumb ranges from the hole diameter, plus hole and charge length for a bench.
