Technical Services
Technical Services play a critical role in our Turkey operations, providing blasting services, technical consultancy, innovative applications, and support services to deliver high-quality service to our stakeholders and ensure operational success. Technical Services holds a significant share, accounting for more than 20% of our total operations.
Blasting Services
Solar Mining Services Inc. (SMS) organizes blasting services across 7 different regions in Turkey with a total of 21 teams. SMS possesses the largest blasting crew capacity in the country, performing approximately 4 million cubic meters of blasted excavation annually. Our operational capacity on high-volume projects includes engineering expertise and technical consultancy. This capacity, used in high-risk areas, ensures efficient and safe blasting operations all over the country.
Technical Consultancy Services
Our blasting operations are supervised and monitored by engineers who are experts in their respective fields within the framework of occupational health and safety standards. Blasting services are constantly overseen by field engineers who maximize operational efficiency and safety. Our technical consultancy services offer risk analysis and engineering solutions at every stage of the projects, optimizing blasting operations. Additionally, for projects requiring advanced engineering, depending on quick-response capabilities we offer solutions for both short-term and long-term needs.
Technological Services: Modeling, Electronic Initiation, Controlled Blasting
We continuously improve the technological infrastructure in all our blasting processes. Innovative approaches are integrated, such as computer-aided design (CAD) software, geographic information systems (GIS), drone-based modeling, and blasting simulations. These technologies allow us to perform comprehensive analyses and effectively control pre-blast, execution and after-blast phases.
Blasting Performance Analysis
Continuous monitoring and optimization of parameters such as particle size distribution, back break amount, muckpile and throw efficiency, flyrock control, and final cutting efficiency.
Environmental Impact and Control
Environmental impact predictions and controlled blasting are based on zero-risk principles to mitigate or eliminate environmental effects like vibrations, air shock and rock throw. To achieve the goal of zero risk, meticulously planned operations are carried out with technological infrastructure and advanced engineering solutions.
Electronic Initiation and Modular Blasting
Electronic Initiation and Modular Blasting Precise timing, safe firing, and optimized blasting scenarios are possessed with electronic initiation systems. Modular blasting designs are used to improve blasting processes in a specific area, reducing environmental impact and increasing efficiency.
This holistic approach enhances the efficiency of our blasting operations while minimizing environmental and safety risks, creating a sustainable operational infrastructure.
