RIOCORD

RIOCORD is a flexible detonating cord with a core made of an explosive material (PETN). RIOCORD detonates at an approximate speed of 7,500 m/s.

RIOFLEX MX10000

RIOFLEX MX 10000 is a mechanically sensitised high energy bulk explosive suitable for most mine and quarry applications. RIOFLEX MX 10000 is a higher
energy product compared to emulsion based products due to its lower water content. RIOFLEX MX 10000 maximises energy yields, making the product
an ideal solution for optimising rock fragmentation diggability.

RIOGEL TRONER

RIOGEL TRONER XE is a high strength, high density cap sensitive watergel. The gel structure gives the product a rubber-like tough consistency and  outstanding water resistance.

RIONEL MS

The RIONEL MS series has been designed for use as a down-the-hole detonator in standard blasting scenarios. RIONEL MS are manufactured in a series of varying delay timings and when used in combination with RIONEL SCX surface connectors, offer a multitude of initiation sequence options. RIONEL MS are highly accurate delays that reduce risk of timing overlap.

Rionel MS

  1. Shock tube with 3 layers coiled in a “figure 80” configuration which eases deployment and avoids tangles.
  2. #8 strength Detonator fitted with a double crimp.
  3. The fastening band is easy to break manually in order to achieve a quicker loading operation.
  4. Water resistant label which includes Delay Period, Timing, Length and Lot Number.

 

 

Rionel SCE

The Rionel SCE is a non-electric Surface Connector capable of firing up to eight tubes.

All tubes must be fully inserted for reliable initiation.

Risk Management

The systematic application of management policies, procedures and practices to the tasks of :
a. Hazard Identification (What can go wrong and why?).
b. Risk Analysis - Comparing the anticipated risks of intervention with the risks of no intervention result (How bad and how likely is it?).
c. Risk Assessment - A systematic process for the identification, analysis and evaluation of a substance, thing or happening (hazard) that may under different circumstance lead to an accidental loss or security breach (How acceptable is it?).
d. Risk Control (What can we do about it?).

Rock Fall Failure

Rock fall failure refers to quantities of rock falling freely from a cliff face. A rockfall is a fragment of rock (a block) detached by sliding, toppling, or falling, that falls along a vertical or sub-vertical cliff, proceeds down slope by bouncing and flying along ballistic trajectories or by rolling on talus or debris slopes. Alternatively, a "rockfall is the natural downward motion of a detached block or series of blocks with a small volume involving free falling, bouncing, rolling, and sliding".

Rock Piston Effect

Noise / air blast caused by the displacement of a large amount of air as the face rock mass swells and is thrown out.

Rock Release Pulse

Noise / air blast caused by the venting of high pressure blast gases through the face.

Rock Topple Failure

Toppling failure occurs where columns or blocks of rock topple or rotate about a fixed base.
