Stemming confinement: keeping blast energy where it breaks rock
How Scaled Depth of Burial explains energy loss at the collar, and what better confinement means for fragmentation, flyrock and cost.

Accurate blast hole measurement is the first decision in every blast design execution — and small errors create costly downstream problems. This article explains the Execution Gap and why reliable depth tapes matter.
Scaled Depth of Burial (SDOB) is a key blast design metric that measures explosive energy confinement, helping engineers improve fragmentation, reduce flyrock, and deliver safer, more predictable blasts.
