Simulation and Information Management
for Blasting in Mines
Overview
Overview
JKSimBlast is an award-winning, general-purpose software system for simulation and information management for blasting in mines and related operations. The modular system is designed for engineers who need to standardise their control of blasting, by quantifying and trapping the experience of blasting personnel in a consistent, retrievable format. JKSimBlast can ensure accurate, long-term storage of plans and results, particularly where this is a statutory requirement or for environmental compliance. It applies not only to mine and quarry operations, but also research, education, consulting, contracting and construction.
JKSimBlast integrates all tasks associated with design, simulation, analysis and optimisation, including the storage and manipulation of models, data and results, within one system. At the basic level, JKSimBlast provides CAD-like tools to create a complete blast design – holes, decks and timing – with on-screen detonation simulation to check expected performance. Existing data can be imported from other sources. Individual plans at various design stages can be sent as a "plot" to any Windows-compatible printer, and information tables can be produced as hard-copy output or uploaded to other systems (drilling, survey, etc.) for further processing. Design and actual blasts can be analysed for compliance with blasting objectives.

About JKSimBlast
JKSimBlast has been developed by JKTech based on more than two decades of experience from JKMRC mining research.
The aim of JKSimBlast is to provide the best possible system for blast management.
Individual program modules can be combined to create a tailored system reflecting the mine's operating procedures and expertise.
Utility modules, such as explosives and accessories and units of measurement, can be pre-defined for local usage.
Customised applications can be added to the JKSimBlast system.
JKSimBlast uses Hardlock keys for software security.
