Overview
In Fleming College's Blasting Techniques program, students learn techniques and practices for a career in blasting. • Blasters fill blast holes with explosives and detonate them to dislodge coal, ore, rock, or aggregate, or to demolish structures. • Blasters are employed by construction, mining, and drilling and blasting companies, as well as in the special effects industry. • Students will focus on three types of explosive cuts, and incorporate a wide range of skills in science, mathematics, and communications. • Courses include explosives, blasthole drilling, blasting theory, blast design, geology, safety and accident prevention, and environmental issues.
Students will spend much of their time in labs, field classes and field assignments, and refining their skills in the state-of-the-art drilling and blasting training centre.
