Faster project completion
Predict hard rock early and optimise excavation with custom blast designs and safe, efficient multi-deck techniques.
Faster project completion.
Faster project completion.
Hard rock isn’t always identified during early planning, and when it appears, rock breaking can quickly become a critical path activity. Traditional mechanical excavation methods are often slow, costly and disruptive to nearby communities.
Orica’s expertise and advanced systems help predict and quantify hard rock before excavation begins. Our solutions enable faster, safer and more efficient outcomes through:
- Custom blast designs tailored for excavation of any shape.
- Safe multi-deck blasting techniques to break large volumes of rock before exposure, reducing the number of blasts and accelerating excavation.
