Technology and field expertise working together to support better blasting outcomes.

At the Blackjack and Podosky sites, Blastcon Australia uses 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗥® and 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗕®, software solutions developed by Global Technical Solutions, part of EPC Groupe, to update blast design with quality control in the field.

➡️ 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗥® is an advanced blast design software for open-pit and underground operations. It enables precise planning and optimisation of drilling and blasting activities, with comprehensive, accurate and traceable modelling before ex*****on.

➡️ 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗕® complements this approach as a digital field notebook dedicated to drilling and loading quality control. It enables accurate data capture and improved ex*****on directly in the field, while connecting with blast design and site management platforms for efficient data entry and supervision.

Together, these solutions help bridge the gap between planning, ex*****on and field data, giving our teams greater control and visibility throughout the drill & blast process.

Combined with our field expertise, this technology-driven approach supports more consistent and reliable Rock on Ground outcomes.
