BME is now providing technical blasting services online, giving the industry access to experienced specialists through virtual consultations and solutions.

The service is part of BME’s upgraded website.

“Our online technical blasting service is provided not only by BME’s in-house technical staff, but it is also in association with other recognized third-party specialists in blasting, mining and construction,” says D. Scott Scovira, global manager for blasting science. “The initial online consultation to discuss and scope out a blasting project is at no charge, and the service is not limited to existing BME clients only.”

The range of services offered includes blast fragmentation distribution prediction for surface greenfield sites, fragmentation distribution optimization for supporting mine-to-mill initiatives at established surface and underground sites, and rock characterization and specifications for blasting in hot or reactive ground. The team can also provide solutions related to highwall blast design and management, as well as novel and disruptive blast design and mining methods.
