Innovation in Blasting

Our book, EXPLOSIVES and BLASTING, Second Edition

When we could not find a suitable text book for our training, we wrote our own. Now in its Second Edition, this book is ideal for blasters who want to learn the business, from the basics to advanced methods in plain English with lots of diagrams and photos. A 22 minute DVD is included that features lots of great video from our classes and blasting adventures.

This book and DVD have a perfect Five-Star rating on Amazon.com and retrials for $49.95.

Our book for Law Enforcement and Breaching will be available soon to public safety agencies.

Standardized Blasting Training Certification When we could not find a national or international standard to document blasting training, we created our own. Every blaster can be evaluated from our training and prior training and experience to be certified as an A, B or C Level Blaster. After five years of experience, A Level blasters can obtain a specialist designation.

We offer our training certification designations to be adopted by agencies and companies world-wild as a way to standardize the documentation of explosives and blasting training.

Shaped Charges with Water Tamping Coming soon, our product line that will be like the Swiss Army Knife of blasting tools. It will combine the benefits of a Shaped Charge with Water Tamping as well as Water Impulse. Our new product will be able to cut through metal, rock, steel as well as be used as a door breacher and IED Water Disrupter, to safely destroy bombs without detonating them.
