Rock blasting practices in Malaysian quarry industries / Muhammad Farhan Zulkifli

Rock blasting is the controlled use of explosives to excavate or remove rock. It is a technique used most often in mining and civil engineering such as dam construction, road work and quarry. Blasting brought a new dimension to engineering excavation work in Malaysia. It is common now to cut wider a...
