Overview
This Unblasted Blocks step only appears in the Setup Task list, if Use Drills option is flagged in the Configuration Options step.
The Unblasted Blocks setup step allows you to configure a delay for blocks that have zero drill meters.
Before the blocks within the blast can be mined at the start of the schedule, the time delay must be finished. It fixes the problem when it has been impossible to model a block that is fully drilled at the start of the schedule but could not be mined yet as it must be charged and blasted first.
Blast Delay options
For blasts listed on this setup task, there are three options available:
Option | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Immediately Available | The blocks in the blast are available for mining at the beginning of the Schedule. |  |
Use Default Delay | The blocks in the blast will use the Blasting Delay value from the Drilling setup task that’s applied to the associated bench. |  |
User Input | Users can manually type a value to be applied in hours. |  |
