The experience teams of civil engineering mining have proven mastery of their skills in the production of extremely varied work of a national and an internationl scope.

Our technicians have mastered all the blasting and priming techniques (electronic priming devices and sequential devices, in particular) and can assist in the most complex environments :

•     Urban areas and micro-blasting
•     Underwater
•     Underground space
•     Cutting

Our blasts are calculated in such a way as to minimize the effects on the environnement in terms of vibrations and projections. Our skilled teams are able to adapt the blasting in situ, in response to the constraints encountered.

EPC-Belgique has a drilling fleet that can adapt to all types of rocks. Training people in the most up-to-date techniques with cutting-edge technology optimizes our blasting services and materials, and at the best cost.

EPC-France has always been a driving force in controlled blasting. Ensuring on-site satety is a major focus of the development of EPC-France and controlled mining is a necessary passage for this. As such, EPC-France has taken upon itself the development of the EXPERTIR 3D Software : a blasting software designed by miners. EPC-France has compiled in this software all of the expertise of its engineers and technicians.

 

During drilling, the driller logs all anomalies of the ground tha are encountered. This drilling report is fully embedded into the 3D EXPERTIR Software, to gather all the information on the same support for the design of the fire plan.

 

To verify that the drilling matches the implantation, the exact hole position is taken with a precision GPS. Then each hole is checked, using an inclinometer sensor to monitor any possible deviations wich might occur during the drilling.

 

Once the geometric information and field data are collected in the same software, it is up to the miner to use his experience to establish the optimized fire plan.

 

Thus all the elements are available to establish a safe fire plan, guaranteeing optimum mass distribution, while respecting the environment by limiting the vibrations. A hole-by-hole loading plan for quality mining can be obtained in this way. All shooting plans are incorporated into a global topographic model for continuous tracking of the mining activity.

Les formations EPC France

Depuis 1977, EPC France propose des formations spécialisées dans le domaine du minage à l'explosifs.

Avec des formateurs techniciens ou ingénieurs de terrain, plus d'une centaine de stages sont organisés chaque année...

Our teams carry out reinforcement work in the most various soils with perfect control of risks and uncertainties and with respect for quality and saftety.

Les ouvrages en espace souterrain constituent une des meilleures solutions aux problèmes urbains notamment liés au transport. Les travaux de minage en souterrain sont spécifiques et très différents du minage à ciel ouvert.

EPC-Belgique a développé depuis plus de 10 ans le système MORSE (Module de Repompage et de Sensibilisation d'Emulsion). Il est une réponse sûre et économique face aux problèmes rencontrés lors du creusement de tunnels à l'explosif.

Grâce à une collaboration étroite avec EPC France, EPC Belgique est capable d'offrir ses services pour les travaux de TP.

 Les équipes expérimentées des services Minage Grands Travaux de EPC FRANCE ont su, en effet, démontrer une parfaite maîtrise de leurs compétences dans la réalisation de travaux très variés au niveau national et international. 

Nos techniciens maîtrisent l'ensemble des techniques de tir et d'amorçage (amorçage par dispositif électronique et séquentiel notamment) et peuvent intervenir dans les environnements les plus complexes :

•     Tirs en site urbain et micro-minage
•     Tirs subaquatiques
•     Tirs en espace souterrain
•     Tirs de découpage

Nos tirs sont calculés de manière à contrôler les effets sur l'environnement en matière de vibrations et projections.

Les compétences de nos équipes leur permettent d'adapter in situ les plans de tir aux contraintes rencontrées. 

EPC Belgique dispose d'un parc de foreuses pouvant s'adapter à tous les types de roches. La formation des hommes aux techniques de tirs et aux nouvelles techniques optimise nos prestations d'abattage de matériaux aux meilleurs coûts.
 

Quality & Safety Policy an Prevention of Major Accidents EPC-France.

Customer satisfaction, personal safety and the prevention of major accidents are at the core of our business...

This common policy covers all aspects of Quality, Safety and Environment in all activities. It is in this spirit that our top management and our Terms & Directions delegates have undertaken the implementation and the maintenance of a process of continuous improvement, developing an integrated management system based on ISO 9001 for Quality, ISO 14001 Environment, OSHAS 18001 and the Ministerial Decree of 10 May 2000 modified for Safety.

Manufacturer of civil explosives, EPC-France is a partner in the distribution of explosives and blasting tools essential for quarry mining.

From the delivery of explosive device and initiation products to the services of drilling and blasting, the product offer is complete and the teams at EPC-France bring the whole range of mining products to the client.

In consultation with the quarry manager, the future blasting site is defined based on operationnal requirements.
The overall offer by EPC-France includes siting, drilling, supply of explosives and initiating systems, loading the explosives and doing the blasting, while assuring the safety of the mining.

From the blasting to creating a track or basin, our teams put their skills and experience to work for our customers to provide safe, high quality service.

Dans le cadre de la mise en sécurité de certains sites naturels, les travaux sur cordes permettent de travailler sur des parois verticales afin éliminer les instabilitées par des purges :

•     manuelles au moyen de cannes à purger
•     mécaniques au moyens de marteaux piqueurs ou éclateurs hydraulique
•     par vérinage hydraulique ou pneumatique
•     par coussin d'air
•     par déroctage à l'explosif
•     pose de grillage (sécurisation des talus)
•     projection de béton
•     pose d'écrans pare-pierres et pare-blocs

Utilizing underground space is one of the best solutions to urban problems, and in particular those relating to transportation. Underground boring work is highly specialized and very different from open pit mining...

EPC-France has, over 10 years, developped MORSE system (module and re-pumping of emulstion sensitization). It is a safe and economical answer to the problèmes encountered in tunneling with explosives.

The MORSE system allows the application of an explosive emulsion directly the front surface to be removed. It greatly improves the safety conditions, productivity and reduces the cost of boring.

As a part of the trip of some natural sites, rope access work permits to work on vertical walls to eliminate instability by purges :

•     manual using canes to serves
•     the mechanical means of hydraulic or pneumatic drills spark
•     by hydraulic or pneumatic jacking
•     air cushion
•     excavation with explosives
•     fence installation (secure embankments=
•     shotcrete
•     installation of rockfall barrier screens and blocks
