My father was an explosives expert with Hercules power company for forty years. Open pit iron mines and interstate roadway cuts were his specialty. I was taken along when it was possible. It is truly amazing what high explosives can accomplish on a job. In a split second many tons of rock can be turned into rubble, a job that would take months if done with digging equipment. When placed precisely by an explosive engineer the cut is a work of art.

I would have expected that they would have used delay fuses to move the blast from one end to the other .. creating more room for the next charge going off..
If Im not mistaken, you spent around 0.5 kg of explosives per cubic meter of rock? also what did you use? how much of emulsion, how much plastic and how much or if any anfo or something similar?
The dynamite man did not think much of the new explosive TOVEX so he used tovex to stem the holes of the nitroglycerin dynamite. The holes were around 40 ft, The blast flew a long distance but rubber tired loaders could dig it out .
@@nishipal1500 The easiest way is to contact some of the large quarries in Norway and ask if there are jobs available. You will be required to resit your explosive tickets to comply with the Norwegian standards. The organisation is called the DSB. Bergsprenging and Bergsprenging Leader you will need. for SHotfirer and SUpervisor/Engineer status.
Actually their website calls it Bestone, and it appears to be a type of Granite used for road construction and marine breakwater. I don't think a sandstone aggregate would be good for those uses. www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/
it actually doesn't matter. what ever may be left is inert without the proper detonating procedure. its a different explosive to military use. I used to work with it and in my country it was classed as an safety explosive. weird but true.
The larges blast I ever laid out was just over 1400 holes Thirty foot centers and 54 feet deep...go figure That shot would not have spread so much flyrock if they had done a center cut on it. It would have brought the rock at the face backward into the blast...fly rock would have come out only about fifty feet at the most
Admire your work when all parameters are upscaled in hole diameter, number of holes ect blasting for the machines and the end product, not mining or ore excavation which is a different matter and you have to hit it harder. Nice to receive your interest.
I wonder what it costs to do a blast that large? Hours of machine time to prep and drill. More man/woman hours to place the explosives. X tons of explosive. Probably hundreds of thousands of $$.
would you venture to contemplate that many features of our rugged landscape world wide, to the scale of the enormity that it is...was contoured in this invasive way, by an invasive speculator? That we live in a quarry, and live among giant windrows,spoil tips, reservoirs, and dump piles? The vegetation(true) long cleared? you won't venture...
lol great trolling mate, pity nobody appreciated such a masterpiece.. people nowadays are unfortunately losing interest in the the art of triggering others as source of personal entertainment.. anyway big up very well written
I am looking at the features of this plane with new eyes...all those geological wonders of the world appear to made this same way... much of the barren, rocky wastelands and deserts on earth are mined out quarries. How could I have been so blind?
hotfuj2012 Exactly... we've all been blind. I'm going to look further into it. I saw a video about it earlier today. The earth has giant tree stumps called mountains and hills of quarry waste called volcanoes. It's mind blowing!

I would like to hear the blast instead of generic music.
Beautiful blast. Well done.
Very nice! I love Norway - a beautiful country!

If I started that quarry I def would have started the other side just for the view lol. Great blast nice looking rock for sure
I would have expected that they would have used delay fuses to move the blast from one end to the other .. creating more room for the next charge going off..
Its a fun place to work there! wish I was there to see this blast!
Norway Rocks!
Very nice, little or no high speed ejections. Safe and efficient.

the remote air vehicle was the best shot of this series of replays. Who ever got that RV in the air, condos to him/her

Moving mountains.............. Awesome! 💣💥
Burden, Spacing, Hole Diameter, KG's per hole, Timing between rows?
3.7m X 4.3 m , 102mm drill diameter charging at 9.5kgpm, kg per hole 185ish , 180ms between rows
Awsome man, Cheers from Maxam Canada.
@@alexbradley3731 Sir, I do blasting work in the UAE, how can I apply in Norway.

What kind of rock does this quarry produce?
devonian sandstone
@@volvolover9996 thank you.

That wall face after the blast has never before been seen by a human being.
Well I have seen that face many times
What is all the rock used for? doesn't seem to be much usefull stone there for anything other than fill!
www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/
Whaat bout u sherch it up? allalone what he said
Road gravel... kewl.
Not the largest production blast in Norway. Rana gruber used 143 tons of explosives
I wonder how they know if all the charges fired and that tbere arent any live ones left.

Gotta love the music!
Awesome! Anyone know the name of the music?

Good job
trplpwr Thermites would have turn rock metal everything else into dust just like Twin Towers.
Yeah cool and Beautiful... Buy now....
SOLD!
454 holes!!!? Thats one hell of a casting couch session! and one hell of a soar di..!
What is the rock, and what is it used for?
construction of houses, railway tracks, artificial islands,barriers
Probably a form of limestone.
impressive power
Must be VALUABLE rock.
what are the rocks for?
The Kings' Japanese Rock Garden.
Used in Dutch roads. www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/

Music please? Nice blast :)

Not too much oversize. Good lift and push from the face, acceptable fly rock for the location. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

Let Anders Behring Breivik clear up the debris. A good wheelbarrow, sturdy gloves, a raincoat, will help him along.

So nice to get rid of those pesky hills and mountains.
Why do this? Mining, blasting quarries has destroyed all of the enormous beauty that once was on the earth long ago.
For the stone, for use in construction.
Go live in a mud hut and walk every where by foot on muddy trails ya rotten tree hugging hobbit!

Great result, but ridiculously over-dramatic for such a small blast.
NOW CLEAN THAT SHIT UP!!!

I mean this was pretty and all but that explosion in Oslo... A thing of beauty ;)
(joke) Don't take it bad
Any 360 work
The music was lame and unnecessary.
