Dyno Nobel is proud to mark twenty-five years since the creation of our DynoConsult Team. Since 1999, our world-class explosives and blast consulting team has helped operations optimize their drill and blast programs, maximize their results, and reduce their costs throughout the entire value stream.
The DynoConsult team is made up of experts from all areas of the mining industry, including surface and underground projects in metals, quarrying and aggregates, coal, and construction. Each person on the team has a unique skillset and background, allowing the team to develop solutions for operations of all shapes and sizes. From a recent blast design project that freed $72 million of ore at a metal mine to innovative blast timing that cut a quarry’s vibration in levels in half, DynoConsult has consistently provided results that exceed all goals.
DynoConsult also conducts projects that deliver savings and optimize outcomes across entire mining operations in a process called Drill to Mill™. Drill to Mill projects assess the full implications of changes to the drilling and blasting procedures throughout the value stream. First, our experts carry out Rapid Operations Diagnostics to accurately identify opportunities for improvements. They then use their wide range of capabilities to implement changes that reduce costs and maximize profits at every stage of the operation.
