Core Features and Modules in O-PitSurface

O-PitSurface offers a comprehensive set of tools designed to support every stage of the drill and blast process in surface operations. Below are the main modules and frequently asked questions related to its capabilities.

🔧 What modules are included in O-PitSurface?

O-PitSurface includes the following core modules:

• Home: Access to primary design tools
• Topography: Import terrain and use CAD tools
• Free-Face: Define crest/toe lines and analyze deviation data
• Boreholes: Create custom blast patterns
• Charge: Charge boreholes and apply charge rules
• Non-Electric Detonators: Tie-up and simulate non-electric detonator blasts
• Electronic Detonators: Tie-up and simulate blasts with electronic detonators
• Blast Results: Predict fragmentation and view heat maps
• Attenuation Law: Generate based on real seismographic data
• Map: Predict Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) and define safety areas

🌍 Can I import topographic or geological data into O-PitSurface?

Yes. O-PitSurface supports importing from DXF, CSV, OBJ, and TXT file formats for terrain and geological data.

🎯 Does the software support blast simulation?

Yes. You can simulate:

• Fragmentation
• Vibration
• Other outcomes

You can adjust parameters such as burden, spacing, and charge to fine-tune your blast design.

📉 How does O-PitSurface handle borehole deviation?

O-PitSurface lets you:

• Import actual deviation data (via RHD file or O-PitDev via O-PitCloud)
• Compare real vs. designed borehole layout
• Perform deviation analysis to improve QA/QC before charging

📄 Can I generate drilling and charging reports?

Yes. O-PitSurface offers automated report generation, including:

• Drill plans
• Charge sheets
• Deviation summaries

📌 Can I import a CSV with borehole positions into an imported terrain?

Yes. Just ensure that the coordinate system of the CSV matches the coordinate system of your imported terrain.

🧩 Can I create custom borehole patterns?

Absolutely. O-PitSurface includes multiple tools to create and modify borehole patterns as needed.

⚙️ Can I automatically apply a charge rule to a specific borehole type?

Yes. Charge rules can be created and applied automatically to selected borehole types.

🔌 Is there integration with blast machines for programming electronic detonators?

Yes. O-PitSurface supports integration with several detonator systems, including:

• Davey Bickford (ENAEX)
• Hanwha
• Austin Powder
