Blasting Solutions
4D™ Clear-i
Precision blasting with reduced fume risk in reactive ground.
Energy-based blast design for compliance and environmental responsibility.
Energy-based blast design for compliance and environmental responsibility.
The 4D™ Clear‑i system gives mining operations working in reactive ground a safer, more controlled way to manage fume risk and environmental performance. By shifting from density-based design to energy-based design, 4D™ Clear-i enables precise energy control for safer, more sustainable blasting. The system is available across the Fortis™, Fortan™ and Aquacharge™ ranges and supports consistent performance in wet, dry or dewatered conditions.
