CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECTS

minage_controle

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.

 

 

micro_minage

MICRO-BLASTING is a technique for clearing rock rubble with explosives. the use of micro-loads between 100 end 2000 grams minimizes the vibrations of the blast impact on the surrounding structures. This techniques results in a significant reduction in daily vibration and noise limitations imposed on the daily use of a hydraulic rock breaker (noise, dust, slow place...).

CONTROLLED BLASTING

minage_controle

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.

 

minage_controle

To ensure the security of the settlements, the software is able to integratre the 3D profile of fronts, whatever the type of devise used. This geometrical knowledge, once acquired, can model the implantation directly on computer : tilt, depth, orientation of the drilling, as much information as is available to the driller, so that he can work under the best conditions.

minage_controle

 

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.

 

minage_controle

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.

 

minage_controle

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.

UNDERGROUND MINING

minage_souterrain

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.

morse

 

 

The technical solution proposed allows EPC-France to produce an explosive just at the end of the pumping hose. The explosive product (NITRAM TX1) is loaded into the borehole, as it is a low sensitivity explosive, it requires a powerful booster.
