| Description | Drilling and blasting procedures are utilized for removing various types of overburden hard formations at the South Field Lignite Mine, at the Lignite Center of Ptolemais-Amydeon, operated by the Greek Public Power Corporation. This paper presents the results and experiences from a blast vibration program that was recently initiated in order to ensure that the surface blasting operations do not affect a powerplant as well as a village that are located in close proximity to the surface mining operations. Additionally, results of this program were utilized to redesign the blasts to achieve lower vibration levels. Drilling and blasting procedures are utilized for removing various types of overburden hard formations at the South Field Lignite Mine, at the Lignite Center of Ptolemais-Amydeon, operated by the Greek Public Power Corporation (PPC). This chapter presents the results and experiences from a blast vibration program that was initiated to ensure that the surface blasting operations do not affect a powerplant and a village located in close proximity to the surface mining operations. In 1996 a blast vibration monitoring program was initiated, in an effort to assess blasting practice at the South Field Mine. The chapter provides results of the blast vibration program at the South Field Mine and evaluates regarding surface blast design and implementation. The results show that the depth of the blastholes and the presence of water in the holes do not seem to affect ground vibrations and higher vibrations seem to correspond to blastholes loaded with gelatin dynamite.
