DRILL AND BLAST PATTERN OPTIMIZATION

Created by ChecklistGuro (https://checklistguro.com)

[ ] Fetch Geological Survey Data: Retrieve rock hardness, density, and fragmentation data from the Geological Survey data model.
[ ] Retrieve Current Drill Inventory: Get data regarding available drill bits, diameters, and machine availability.
[ ] Calculate Burden and Spacing: Apply formulas (e.g., Kuz-Ram model) using rock hardness and explosive energy to determine optimal burden and spacing.
[ ] Calculate Powder Factor: Calculate the required ratio of explosive mass to the volume of rock to be blasted.
[ ] Create Proposed Blast Pattern: Generate a new entry in the 'Blast Pattern' data model containing the calculated coordinates and hole depths.
[ ] Update Site Constraints: Update the blast site status to 'Pattern Designed' to prevent overlapping work orders.
[ ] Assign Pattern Drilling Task: Create a task for the Drill Operator to execute the pattern based on the new design.
[ ] Retrieve Drilling Progress: Get data from completed drill logs to verify actual vs. planned hole depths.
[ ] Calculate Average Deviation: Aggregate drilling logs to find the average deviation between planned and actual hole positions.
[ ] Assign Blasting Task: Create a task for the Blasting Engineer to supervise the loading of explosives.
[ ] Update Pattern Status to 'Loaded': Update the Blast Pattern entry to reflect that explosives have been placed.
[ ] Blast Notification Alert: Send an email to the Site Safety Officer and nearby stakeholders regarding the upcoming blast window.
[ ] Create Post-Blast Analysis Entry: Create a new entry in the 'Post-Blast Evaluation' model to capture fragmentation and vibration results.
[ ] Generate Optimization Efficiency Report: Generate a report comparing the 'Planned Powder Factor' vs 'Actual Results' to refine future models.
[ ] Finalize Pattern Record: Update the original Blast Pattern entry to 'Completed' and archive it.
