muffle blast/blasting
Note the emphasis on precision in both citations. Although not necessarily but possibly the same, also note the use of the words /fly-rock/ and /desvios/.
Muffle blast: In case of blasting in congested areas, muffling or covering of blast holes properly before blasting, is the common solution to prevent fly-rock from damaging human habitants and structures.
MÉTODO DE DETONAÇÃO AMORTECIDA
A linha de perfurações ao longo da linha limite de escavação é feita com cuidado redobrado para evitar desvios, carregada com explosivo leve (carga no fundo = 60 a 90 % da carga usada na coluna) e detonada com uma espera de atraso em relação às normais (ou após a retirada do
material principal).
Sources other than the two mentioned describe covering the blast holes with sand.
