High Productivity Trench Blasting in Oman

[proaudiohd]

Probably the coolest thing I've seen all day



[silviaks90]

Very nice, any particular reason why you used det cord instead of shock tube?? Cost factor? Just curious :)

[meatisdeliciouse]

[kirtapofmax]

this is very nice to see a long blast like that !!!!!!!!!! it's look like a fast train !!!

[DarthBob8]

no, im just doing a project and need some dynamite video clips : )

[3NUNS]

actually one can see how fast blasting cord porceeds : from 1000 metres per second to 2500 metres per second

[dynamite333]

@3NUNS

The VOD of detonating cord is around 6,000m/sec & 7,000m/sec

[3NUNS]

@dynamite333 : Thanks.

[dynamite333]

Thank you,

This video was only posted for visual effect, but rest assured the end result (Fragmentation) was typical of an high productivity trench blast of this type.

[Janszler]

Impressive :)

Would have liked to see a shot of the resulting trench as well though.

[powerfrac]

Very Very NICE trench!

[dynamite333]

Why thank you kind sir.

[jludra]

nice shot. how many holes in that trench

[dynamite333]

There was a total of 2500 holes with an average depth of 2.5m

Nice shot. Next time get a big mirror or some reflective mylar and put it over the firing line at 45 degrees and film with the camera at 90 degrees a long way off and with it zoomed in so it looks like the camera is in the firing line. Would make a cool video. (put a big bucket over the camera with a glass window to keep out the dust etc.)

Make more vids NOW. I love em.

I know some neighborhoods in Philadelphia that could use this same kind of treatment.
