AVALHEX Systems
There are two main types of systems; Self contained, or pipe connected.Two alternate types of exploders are offered; 17 or 26 detonations.
Each self contained system can be transported by helicoter in a single trip.
The system is managed by computer software or by remote control and can be equipped with weather stations.
The micro-computer control unit is associated with detonation management software:
  • Mapping zone of AVALHEX (location, status)
  • Firing procedure
  • Data base (recording of all events, even from other triggering devices)
The portable control unit has a simple signaling system for on site triggering detonations.
Safety procedures are implemented at different levels throughout the entire system.
1 password to access the software.
1 password with a key to start the firing procedure.
1 key for unit maintenance on the site.

The maintenance required for the AVALHEX system is very minimal because of the low solicitation of the materials and absence of degradation of the anchoring on the ground.

The costs of maintenance is limited to the operations of placing the unit in and out of service and to do the preventative maintenance actions during the summer and the fall.

Maintenance operations consist of:

  • To winterize.
  • To exchange the hydrogen tanks.
  • To reload the balloon containers.
  • To place the unit in service.

Advantages of the AVALHEX System:

  • Simplified installation
  • Capability to move equipment if needed
  • Removable during the off season
  • Capable of multiple firing without the wait
  • Spherical blast area
  • Low operational cost
  • Easy maintenance all year round
  • Less wear; longer life
  • All procedure can be followed and recorded on a PC
  • State of the art technology
