As mining companies rapidly shift their strategies and operating models to leverage digital transformation, new technologies in blasting and explosives are making an ever more vital contribution to bottom-line improvements. The Blast Alliance core brands are Blastmap blast design application for Surface and Underground, Xplolog for accurate hole and deck data capturing and reporting and the BME Blasting Guide App for quick block design calculations and verification. Blastmap and Xplolog seamlessly integrate with one another, as well as with our state of the art AXXIS Digital Initiation System for timing design.

Not only do poor blasting practices erode mines’ financial bottom lines – they are also bad for the environment, according the BME technical director Tony Rorke.
The revolutionary transition from non-electric to electronic delay detonators (EDDs) in the field of blasting has brought many benefits to mining productivity, but there are still plenty of advantages to be gained by blast pioneers who are prepared to think ‘outside the box’.
The powerful combination of mobile computing and ‘cloud’ data storage is starting to transform safety and productivity on mines that embrace technology, according to BME senior software developer Nicky Klacar.
