BlastIQ™ Mobile - Grouping Plans (Underground only)

Release Date:

15^th January 2026

KBA Summary:

This Knowledge Base Article demonstrates how related plans may be grouped together in BlastIQ™ Underground Desktop, and how this relationship is presented on BlastIQ™ Mobile.

Summary

In underground drill and blast design and execution, it is helpful to be able to group blast plans into a category to help identify and organise them. For example, firings may be grouped into a stope (Diagram 1) or each sub-level cave ring will be grouped to the drive that they are located in.

Diagram 1: An example showing how blasts might be grouped into stopes.

Plans may be grouped together through BlastIQ™ Underground Desktop. A detailed description of the process can be found here. 

Although plans may be grouped together, there is no requirement for a plan to be grouped with another plan, and all plans once pushed to BlastIQ™ are accessible within BlastIQ™ Mobile. Utilising the new plan grouping functionality is completely optional and non-compulsory, giving sites the flexibility to manage their plans as they see best.

There are several use cases where a plan may exist solely on its own. These types of plans may include (but are not limited to):

• Service Holes
• Escapeways
• Cablebolt Holes
