Generate and Print a Charge Sheet

A charge sheet is a report of how holes are to be charged. The report is designed to be printed to facilitate the work of charge loading crews. The report may cover the holes in a charge pattern or a blast pattern. A blast pattern is appropriate if charge patterns are adjacent (for example, charge patterns for production and trim) and you define a blast pattern to combine the charge patterns.

The design and content of the report is fully customisable. A typical charge sheet has a summary of the required products and aggregated data for the pattern, such as the average hole depth, the blast volume and the calculated powder factor. This summary is followed by charge loading instructions for each hole, listing the mass and lengths for each product. For each instruction, there is space for the loading crew to record actual values and comments.

The collected data can be entered manually. See Enter As-Built Data for Holes.
