Austin Powder Avalanche employee Michael Blancher heading to our ride back to the valley after completing explosive loading of the Avalanche Guard system protecting the transportation route of Trans Canada Hwy 1. The explosive system protects both the Highway and Railway below. Closing the Trans-Canada Highway through Rogers Pass costs the Canadian economy an estimated $3 million CAD per hour. A full-day closure can impact approximately $77 million CAD in goods. The British Columbia Avalanche Team based out of Revelstoke is responsible for the traveling public and freight. They have trusted Austin Powder products and expertise for the loading and control of the avalanches since 1996.

Location: Port of Lyttelton, Christchurch New Zealand

This photo was taken at a quarry project at Gollans Bay, Port of Lyttelton, New Zealand, where I am currently training the customer with E*STAR. The project supports the widening of the port, and the photo captures a unique moment where technical blasting work, quarry operations, and a beautiful harbour backdrop come together. It reflects both the challenging environment we work in and the important role our technology plays in supporting safe and controlled project delivery.

This photo was taken at Gollans Bay, Port of Lyttelton, New Zealand, during a quarry project supporting the widening of the port. In the photo, I am training a customer on the E*STAR system in a live quarry environment. It captures the practical side of technical support, working directly with customers in the field to build confidence, improve understanding, and support safe and controlled blasting outcomes. The harbour and mountain backdrop also show the unique environment in which this important port development work is taking place.

"This photo was taken at Gollans Bay Quarry, Port of Lyttelton, Christchurch New Zealand, during a port widening project where I am currently supporting the E*STAR system. The photo represents Austin Powder’s values in action. Safety is our 1st priority, shown through working in full required PPE and following safe practices in an active quarry environment. It also reflects being customer focused, as we are working closely with the site team to support reliable and efficient blasting outcomes. The image also shows the power of family through teamwork, trust, and looking after each other while completing technical work in the field. It further reflects treating everyone with respect, by supporting the customer, working responsibly in the local community, and contributing to an important infrastructure project at the Port of Lyttelton."

Location: Dunedin New Zealand

"This photo was taken at Macraes Operation, an OceanaGold mine outside Dunedin, New Zealand, while providing E*STAR technical support to one of our customers. The conditions on the day were cold, wet, and challenging, but the team continued to work safely and professionally in full required PPE. For me, this photo represents Austin Powder’s values in action: Safety is our 1st priority, we are customer focused, and we support each other through teamwork in difficult field conditions. It also reflects leveraging the power of family, because successful work in the field depends on trust, communication, and looking after one another. The photo shows our commitment to supporting customers respectfully and reliably, even in tough operating environments."
