Austin Powder was founded in 1833 in Akron, Ohio, by five brothers from Wilmington, Vermont: Daniel, Alvin, Lorenzo, Henry and Linus Austin. The brothers traveled west by horse and wagon in search of opportunity before establishing their first mill along the Cuyahoga River, where they produced black powder for blasting and sporting arms.

What began as a small family venture has grown into a global company, and Austin Powder is recognized as the oldest manufacturing enterprise in the State of Ohio. Nearly two centuries later, the family spirit that began with the five Austin brothers continues through our Power of Family culture.

With Paradigm, blast timing designs are a breeze. Using the muti-row tool, complete tie-ins can be completed in seconds. Simply select the row start points, enable the tool and drag your mouse in the general direction of the path. Next, we can add our inter-row delays. In this case, I’m using a fixed per-distance timing scenario but there are many strategies to choose from. We can examine timing contours, check out an interval graph and much more. Austin Powder’s Paradigm, allows you to simulate before you detonate, ensuring that you fire the right blast for your operation. Every time.

Known for its motto, "A Merging of Theory and Practice," ISSW fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between those advancing snow science and those applying it in the field. Since its inaugural conference in 1976, ISSW has been held biennially, rotating between Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Design smarter. Blast better.

With Paradigm's powerful blast pattern design tools, complex layouts become simple. In this example, a crest line is quickly transformed using the line fill tool to create an offset line, generate best-fit rows, and straighten the mining bench. Holes are automatically snapped to 3D terrain and are ready for export to stakeout systems or GNSS-equipped drills.

The result? Faster pattern creation, precise drilling guidance, and a more even distribution of explosive energy.

With Paradigm, Austin Powder delivers the best blast for your operation.
