Dyno Nobel congratulates all of the finalists in the Dyno Nobel Exceptional Woman In Australian Resources Award.

#blastoftheweek - This blast used 1 million lbs. of TITAN® Bulk Emulsion, NONEL® Initiation system and TROJAN® SPARTAN® Cast Boosters to assist a mine blasting overburden for contour reclamation. The blast design was 10.625-inch diameter holes drilled to depths from 20 ft. to 120 ft. with 17 rows of 60 holes in total close to 750 holes. The blast load time was over a 48 day period and produced no post-blast fumes. Drilled and loaded by our Joint Venture Partner, Buckley Powder Company Gillette and Billings Crews: Josh, Dave, Russ, Dustin, Burl, Jake, and Erik.

BlastWeb® II is a centralized blasting system that ensures safe and reliable blasting for all underground mining needs. Through its Surface Blast Controller, BlastWeb II allows all mining personnel to be out of harm’s way at the time of blasting, eliminating exposure to fumes and gases. It also continuously tests all detonators, including end-of-line checks, to limit the possibility of misfires. With seamless integrations with all types of initiation systems, BlastWeb II is an ideal solution for any underground blasting application
