Mining blasting can cause rock shattering and generate seismic waves of energy that travel through the earth, causing vibrations in the surrounding rock mass or material. The level of blasting vibrations varies depending on the hardness of the rock.

The vibrations from the explosion must be within safe limits for the surrounding environment. This means the resulting vibrations will impact the comfort of residents, the surrounding residential environment, and the stability of infrastructure. One controllable factor is the explosive content .

One of the causes of high ground vibration levels resulting from blasting is the suboptimal vertical energy distribution of the explosives, because blasting in Critical Areas is limited (below 30kg) and the resulting vibration value is still above the threshold. Through the use of MTi Blastbag ^TM, vibration can be reduced, especially in blasting Critical Areas close to residential areas and infrastructure.

The use of MTi Blastbag ^TM can be a solution to the problem of mine blasting in Critical Areas, which results in the spot decking method . The spot decking method is the position of the air deck between the fill columns. Spot decking is useful for increasing the height of the explosive fill in the blast hole. Tools that can be used for the air deck are MTi Blastbag ^TM .

MTi Blastbag ^TM also provides other benefits, such as increasing blasting efficiency and reducing explosive consumption, thus providing a positive impact on the sustainability of the mining industry.
