Electronic Blast

The "Electronic Blast" video is of a blast that was timed to have each hole fire individually by using electronic delay detonators. By using precise delay times between initiations, blast induced ground vibrations could be predicted and therefore designed for.

Production Blast

The "Production Blast" video is of a 400 000 m3 overburden blast that was designed to result in good fragmentation and a loose muck pile. The blast was timed and initiated using pyrotechnic delay detonators.
