An honour to have been given the opportunity to do a guest lecture on drill and blast to students at the University of Arizona last night. Well, night in South Africa. Early afternoon in Arizona. Thank you Muhammad Waqas, PhD for the opportunity. ERG Industrial

When it comes to ppe you need to have the best on the market. A huge thanks to #ergindustrial for this top of the range Carbon Hardhat. This hardhat is the most comfortable hat that I have used so far. Not only comfortable but also looking pretty dam good😎. #EugenePreis

It's rare to be able to see a blast timing pattern this clearly. Closed chevron in action in low light conditions. ERG Industrial
A typical trade-off in blasting, especially when pre-splitting or blasting coal: Good fracturing or fragmentation versus excessive airblast/overpressure. The above is not true for all cases, but many operations face this trade-off. We recently did some work to address this exact issue - how do you still obtain a blast outcome that is good for production, but does not exceed the allowable airblast overpressure limits? Have a look at the case study. www.varistem.com

Close up view of an overcharged blast at a coal mine. This was filmed as part of a scoping exercise to understand what was going wrong in terms of design and execution of the blasts at this operation. Close-up reveals some obvious overcharging and demonstrates the terrifying power of explosives. ERG Industrial

Cheers Portugal, it's been a blast. Humbled to have been able to share my ramblings about drill and blast with the world's best at the World Blasting Innovators conference in Porto. Thank you. ERG Industrial

Blasting quality around the world is going to be a bit lower this week. A necessary sacrifice to get all of the world's best blasting innovators in a room together in Porto, Portugal 😂 World Blasting Innovators day 1.

Blasting looks very different from really close up as compared to a shot from a drone or viewpoint camera. This video shows four blast from really close up: 1. Overburden blast at a coal mine. Blast was way overcharged, QAQC was bad. Bad blast. 2. Calcrete (Caliche) blast at a manganese mine. Blast was not overcharged, but was stemmed with drill chippings, resulting in stemming and dust ejection. 3. Overburden blast at a coal mine with a "pre" split, firing halfway through the production blast. Any idea why the pre-split was fired in this sequence? 4. Another overburden sandstone/clay blast at a coal mine. Also overcharged, but not as a result of neglect or bad design. Contractor forced to use a non-ideal hole diameter. Which one was your favourite to watch? ERG Industrial
