Introduction

Rompex is an innovative technology that has revolutionized the way small mining companies carry out rock blasting. In addition, with a safer and more efficient fragmentation process, Rompex has proven to be an ideal solution for various projects across Brazil. Therefore, in this article, we present 3 successful case studies of works completed using Rompex.

Construction of a Sanitation Trench in Santo Antônio do Monte – MG

About the Project

The company Prestoserv carried out this project in a residential condominium with the aim of installing stormwater and sewage pipelines for the homes.

Challenges

Just one meter below the surface, a metamorphosed gneiss rock mass of high hardness was found. Moreover, the presence of homes near the site required a more controlled and safer blasting process.

Solution

With the use of Rompex, the fragmentation of the rock blocks was carried out in a more precise and controlled manner, ensuring a safer and more efficient blasting process. In addition, Rompex allowed greater flexibility in the operation, since there were several work fronts made possible by the fact that it does not produce flyrock. As a result, productivity was higher and of better quality.

Construction of a Water Conduction Canal in Perolândia – GO

About the Project

Prestoserv carried out the implementation of water conduction canals, which are systems designed to transport and distribute raw water. Their purpose is to carry liquids from one point to another.

Challenges

Construction work was already underway when workers encountered a rock mass. The rock was basalt. Therefore, it was necessary to control the blasting without generating vibration, to avoid damage to other areas of the project already in progress.

Solution

With the use of Rompex, the fragmentation of the rock blocks was performed in a controlled manner and without generating vibrations, ensuring a safer and more efficient blasting process. Moreover, Rompex helped reduce environmental impact since the process does not involve explosives.

Sanitation Project in Simão Dias – SE

About the Project

The company Sercol carried out the project in the city of Simão Dias – SE with the goal of performing a controlled and precise rock blasting process that would ensure worker safety while removing the rock mass.

Challenges

The project was located in an urban area, with nearby buildings and several points involving outcroppings and confined areas. Moreover, the charge distribution required a prior assessment: higher charges in confined areas and lower in outcroppings.

Solution

With the use of Rompex, the fragmentation of the rock blocks was performed as planned. The breakage occurred without flyrock and without the need for rework. It also caused less environmental harm, since the product is classified as a flammable chemical solid.

Conclusion

In conclusion, by presenting these 3 successful case studies of projects carried out with Rompex, we can clearly see the product's efficiency and versatility. In addition to offering greater safety and precision in rock blasting, Rompex also provides effective solutions to challenges that may seem insurmountable. It is gratifying to see how Rompex has become a fundamental tool in various projects across Brazil and around the world, contributing to building a more prosperous and sustainable future.
