drill plan
Explanation:
In a translation from English to Italian we translated Drill Plan with "schema di volata", and seen your sentence and context, I think it can be it.

Drill plan coglie il senso perchè lo schema di volata è il modo in cui si vuole cavare un blocco di roccia usando l'esplosivo e quindi il piano di collocazione dei fori da perforare (drill), in cui poi inserire le cariche, è esattamente la stessa cosa.

rounds of shots


Explanation:
".. blasting methods using standard rounds of shots... " I would do something like this

A "volata" is a round of shots, where (from an old translation):
Volata: è lo sparo simultaneo, o in una preordinata successione temporale, di più mine predisposte per ottenere un determinato risultato in termini di abbattimento del fronte di scavo.
Round of shots: simultaneous or predetermined sequence of explosive detonations specifically placed to give a determined result in terms of face excavation.

I would tend to skip a precise translation of "schema" here, because it would really include everything to do with the "volata", the drill hole layout, the strength of the explosives and the sequence of the shots. Any attempt to put all that in one or just few words in English would probably look clumsy and strange.
