INCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Incident Investigation for Mining Explosives
When incidents occur, you need all the help you can get from an independent third party. STX investigates mining explosive failures and field problems, and can access university instrumentation for chemical analysis.
What we investigate
- Emulsion product failure (crystallisation, breakdown, etc.).
- Access to university instrumentation for chemical analysis.
- Emulsion gassing field problems.
- NOx fumes after blasting.
- Reactive ground.
- Misfires.
- Detonator dissection when shrink-wrapping occurs.
