Blasting in sensitive areas
Reduce the complexity of mining when blasting in sensitive areas or close to communities in surface coal operations.
Blasting in sensitive areas or close to communities.
Blasting in sensitive areas or close to communities.
Blasting near highwalls, infrastructure and sensitive areas demands absolute precision to prevent vibration-related damage and maintain compliance. Orica combines meticulous blast design, accurate loading practices and advanced predictive modelling with real-time field measurements and post-blast analysis. This integrated approach helps operators manage outcomes effectively, protect assets and maintain strong relationships with communities and regulators.
Our WebGen™ wireless initiation system takes control to the next level. By removing surface connections such as wires and signal tubes, WebGen™ enables safe deployment of fully loaded, remotely initiated sleeping shots. This on-demand firing capability reduces repeated access to hazardous zones, minimises environmental disturbance and provides unmatched flexibility in blast timing and sequencing, making it the ideal solution for high-sensitivity environments.
