Release Date:
3rd September 2024

Summary

The measure water after backfill or stand-off feature allows the users to record water measurements after a backfill or stand-off deck horizon has been recorded. This enables more efficient workflows in the field while ensuring that the water measurement is evaluated relative to the backfill or stand-off horizon and that the correct loading rule for the hole is applied based on the design specification.

BlastIQ™ Mobile
  • If the "Enable water after deck" is disabled:
    • All water measurements are relative to the hole length.
  • If the "Enable water after deck" is enabled:
    • Users can record water measurements after a backfill and/or a stand-off deck have been recorded.
    • Any water measurements after these decks will be relative to the horizon of the deck, which must be recorded.
    • "Amount of water" to mark a hole as wet or dry is calculated accordingly. Read more here.
    • Wet side measurements are not supported after backfill or stand-off decks.

User Interface

  • The water measurement dialogue shows what the measurement is relative to (if existing) or will be recorded relative to (if new measurement).

Conditions

    • Relative to Backfill
      • To classify a water measurement as relative to backfill:
        • In the charging panel, add a hole measurement that triggers a backfill.
        • Open the backfill deck (deck 0) and add horizon measurement.
          • The product should be stemming, with no other actual measured decks.
        • Open the water measurement dialogue. It should show as relative to backfill.
        • Add a water measurement and tap the "OK" button.
    • Relative to Stand-off
        • To classify a water measurement as relative to stand-off:
          • In the charging panel, add a hole measurement.
          • Add horizon measurement to an actual stand-off deck (deck 1).
            • The product must be stemming, with no other actual decks except a backfill deck.
          • Open the water measurement dialogue.  It should show as relative to the stand-off.
          • Add a water measurement and tap the "OK" button.

Important Notes:

    • The wet side toggle is disabled when the water measurement is relative to backfill or stand-off and is only enabled when it is relative to hole length.
    • If the corresponding backfill or stand-off deck is recorded as "loaded not measured", then water measurements are not allowed.
    • If a water measurement relative to the backfill or stand-off deck is present, that deck or any deck below cannot be cleared without first clearing the water.
