Every minute spent waiting for post-blast hazards to be cleared is a minute of lost production.
Every blast reshapes the environment inside an underground mine. Blasting releases a number of hazardous gases in high concentrations such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which must be cleared from the mine through ventilation before re-entry is permitted.
In addition to toxic gas and dust from the blast, vibrations can result in ground instability, creating loose rock and other geotechnical hazards that must be identified before personnel can return to the face.
For example, Conspec has measured CO concentrations exceeding 500 ppm immediately following a blast, which is more than 10 times OSHA’s permissible exposure limit of 50 ppm and over double the NIOSH ceiling exposure limit of 200 ppm. Until hazardous gas levels are brought within acceptable limits, a mine remains inoperative, workers remain idle, and the costs associated with a lengthy downtime begin adding up. Returning to normal operation is essential, but traditionally, it’s anything but simple.

Measurable improvements in re-entry speed, safety, and operational efficiency.
Faster re-entry decisions allow underground mining operations to resume production sooner, reducing idle time and lowering operational costs.
Real-time gas monitoring reduces the need for personnel to enter post-blast environments for manual verification using portable detection equipment. Conspec’s safety solution minimizes exposure to toxic and combustible gases.
Personnel don’t have to wait for fixed re-entry periods or complete manual inspections while dust and gases are evacuated. Conspec’s real-time monitoring allows for faster, data-driven re-entry decisions to be made as soon as conditions are safe.
Integrated real-time monitoring means ventilation systems are managed based on actual post-blast conditions rather than fixed re-entry periods, helping reduce unnecessary runtime once gas and dust have been cleared.
