Select underground construction plans using drilling and blasting according to the criteria of lowering costs and speeding up progress under given equipment conditions using the EZSTROBE simulation tool

Abstract

In construction works in general and underground works in particular, the requirement to speed up progress and reduce construction costs is always top priority. This article presents the main results of using simulation tools to evaluate the impact of the selection of underground construction equipment on the overall efficiency of construction in terms of both cost and performance criteria. construction progress, in which case each factor is determined in importance and assigned a specific weight. The results of the article contribute to providing suggestions for choosing construction means within specific requirements to bring the highest efficiency.
