Pre-splitting blasting technique is a method employed in rock excavation to create a fracture plane ahead of the main blasting zone. It involves drilling a line of closely spaced holes along the desired contour, typically using smaller diameter drill bits. These holes are then charged with explosives, but the detonation sequence is carefully controlled to ensure that the fractures propagate smoothly and evenly along the designated plane. Pre-splitting helps in achieving a smooth excavation face,
