A limestone mine in Southwest Virginia faced a high-stakes challenge: blast within 70 feet of critical infrastructure, including a sump pond and high-voltage power junction box, without risking damage or disruption. To achieve this, the Austin Powder team utilized advanced UAV mapping, 3D blast modeling, Boretrak technology, and smart drilling to engineer a high-precision solution. The Results: ✔️ Controlled fragmentation without a crusher ✔️ No damage to surrounding infrastructure ✔️ Optimized muckpile, minimal displacement ✔️ Green light from the customer for more shots closer to critical areas Even in the most complex, high-risk environments, the right tech, planning, and partnership make all the difference. #AustinPowder #BlastingSolutions #UAVTech #MiningInnovation #3DBlastModeling #ControlledBlasting #DrillAndBlast #MiningSafety #PrecisionEngineering #QuarryLife #SmartDrilling #CustomerSuccess
