Abstract
The invention relates to a wedging arrangement to plug a blast hole accommodating an explosive charge. The wedging arrangement comprises a body comprising a first part and a second part arranged to angularly slide relative to each other. Each of the first and second parts defines a holding arrangement for holding the first and second parts relative to each other. The wedging arrangement is configurable between a default configuration in which the holding arrangement holds the first and second parts relative to each other, and a stressed configuration in which the body is subjected to external stress forces thereby causing the holding arrangement to be disengaged to allow the first and second parts to angularly slide relative to each other, in use to locate and lock the wedging arrangement in place within the blast hole in order to plug the blast hole and contain the blast energy resulting from the explosive charge being detonated.
