CONCLUSION
DNA-Blast software gives the
following benefits to lafarge:
Decrease PPV by 6 that suppressed
neighbours complains about
vibrations and consequently
allowed Lafarge to extend the site
Optimise the use of electronic
detonators that allowed to increase
the charge per delay and gave to
Lafarge a cheapper cost per ton.
