Safe, controlled blasting at Midrand office park
As the latest generation electronic initiation system from blasting solutions provider BME, AXXIS Silver has once again proved its accuracy and flexibility in a controlled blast in a – high-density area.
BME ramping up in build-up to ISEE conference.
This year’s premier blasting and explosives conference will see a solid presence from BME, signalling its exciting growth phase into the North American and other global markets.
Advanced blasting technology to boost mining sustainability
Building on the flexibility and accuracy of electronic detonation, digital blasting tools can assist in enhancing mines’ efficiency and reducing carbon emissions’, says blasting and explosives solutions provider BME MD Ralf Hennecke.
Culture, protocols key to blast safety on mines
A recent global safety report for mining indicates a gradual but steady improvement in mine safety, with a total recordable injury (TRI) frequency rate at a low 2,90 – down from 5,07 just a decade ago.
Building a holistic decarbonisation strategy
In the journey towards decarbonisation, the South African mining sector is taking its first steps toward renewable self-generation. What will need to follow is a more systematic and integrated approach that addresses the whole mining supply chain.
Omnia’s BME launches graduate programme to boost mining skills
A two-year graduate programme has been launched by Omnia-group company BME to address youth unemployment and skills shortages in an evolving mining industry.
BME raises safety bar with high current detonator testing
Blasting and explosive solutions provider, BME is once again pushing the boundaries of safety with its world-class initiation system, this time testing the resistance of its AXXIS Titanium electronic delay detonators (EDDs) to high current AC voltages.
Fresh projects are needed for mining to meet demand
Times are good for the mining sector, but more exploration and mine development is vital if it is to keep up with future demand – for battery minerals in particular. With the focus now on minerals that can build a low-carbon future, Ralf Hennecke, Managing Director of Omnia Group company BME, has emphasized a commodity pipeline that is falling short.
Blasting’s role in making mining more sustainable
Technology in blasting – alongside advanced low carbon emission emulsion explosives – are helping pave the way on mining’s sustainability journey.
