Backcountry Blasting

We have expertise in operating away from utilities in remote pack-in, fly-in and underground environments. Our experience includes a lot of unusual applications, such as cave conservancy blasting projects, developing underground rescue techniques and performing mine gating and remediation activities. Our ISEE paper on “Blasting for Rescue” features a number of unique techniques we developed for these applications.

We can train your crew in specialty products for these applications, work with your contractor or provide a complete program. See our Resources page for additional guides and information. We also provide training and support for Pionjar and Combi gas-powered rock drills.

Projects include:

• Trail Blasting
• Small Mining Operations
• Sensitive Environment Blasting such as Caves
• Remote blasting without power tools
• Hazard Rock Removal
• Training and Program Development for Backcountry Crews
