pre-splitting
pre-splitting A method of blasting in which a planar crack is propagated by blasting to determine the final shape of a rock face before holes are drilled for the final blast pattern; firing with a minimum time scatter can then be used. The crack helps to screen the surroundings from ground vibrations during the firing of the main round.
