Austin Powder is demonstrating the benefits of its Red Devil gasified emulsion supply system, already demonstrated in Europe and Latin America.
Mina UVA in Chile is one of the latest examples of cutting-edge mining technology. This unique underground mine uses a mineral transfer system backed by remotely controlled equipment from a control room located outside the mine. Austin participates in this project using its Red Devil system and centralized underground blasting equipment with E*STAR electronic detonators.
This $209 million design and construction project is the largest to date of the West Virginia Highway Department. Includes design, slope and drainage for US Highway 48 (Corridor H) and US 219 connector. The work includes 9.17 million m3 of earth movement, important rock blasts and five bridge structures that extend up to 365 m long and 76 m high. Austin Powder supplies explosives and blasting service to the main contractor, Kokosing Construction Company Inc. Austin began blasting this project in 2017.
Austin Powder is taking explosives production to a new level with the modernization of its HMX plant in Rafaela. Austin can now produce a new granulometry product
At the Temium iron mine in Mexico, Austin Powder provides design services and blasting to extract the ore. The Austin team combines teamwork and experience to help our client achieve their goals while always maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
In Ontario, Canada, the Austin team managed to fragment the rock the customer needs in a single blast for a year. 1,416 E*STAR detonators and more than 86,000 kg of Hydromite were used, using two E*STAR equipment. A total of 259,405 tonnes of rock were produced.
The Preg Dunite quarry is known for its production of dunita, a very hard and abrasion resistant rock, which is mainly used as an aggregate for asphalt and ballast for railway lines. Of course, blasting is the first step in fragmenting the rock for further processing. Austin is proud of its role in providing products, technical support, and blasting services.
At the port of Antwerp in Belgium, one of the largest blasts was carried out with E*STAR in 2020. This was the demolition of an 8,000 m2 concrete base plate, for which 6.87 tons of explosives and 2,210 detonators were used. The place was covered with 1.5 m of water and the blast lasted 9.5 seconds.
West Plains Mining, a long-time Customer of Austin Powder, could not access several large stone markets due to distance. With several million tons of reserves and a desire to expand in the future, West Plains needed help implementing a new transportation system. Austin lived up to the challenge and helped West Plains move one step further with the expansion of roads and railroads.
Norway has more than 1,100 road tunnels covering 800 km. 73 of these tunnels are more than 3km long. Approximately 8 million m3 of rock is being excavated each year in Norway for new tunnels of roads, railways and water. Environmental and safety issues have led to the adoption of electronics in almost all new road projects, making the E*STAR Tunnel a much-awaited improvement for this market.
Hong Kong's population is on the rise. It is a time of new residential constructions and new traffic conditions. The Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin (TKO-LTT) tunnel is being built to alleviate traffic congestion and anticipate the district's future development in the face of continued population growth. Austin Powder offers blasting products and services for surface and tunnel work. This project is planned to be completed in 2021.
Mining in Florida has its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to seastone blasting in mining operations with a presence of water. In a humid, muddy environment, where the blaster will never see the face of blasting, Austin Powder adapts to overcome challenges and deliver results safely and effectively.
