Blasters Support Israel.
Israel is a permanent, steadfast, strongly embattled country, surrounded and steeped in all our collective history. In size, one can drive 2 hrs. wide x 8 hrs. long. Israel is one of, if not the master example of human endurance and resilience. Expansion and growth are going vertical.
Tower cranes rise over each city. The infrastructure is tightly consolidated and is in process of continuous renewal. Concrete is the main ingredient required, in demand, repurposed and recycled. Mechanical methods of extraction and conventional demolition are lending to improved processing.
Essential elements, in every modern civil engineering society, relies on explosives for growth and renewal. Mining, producing stone aggerate, utility trenching services, site grading and selected surgical demolition applications are a few end uses.
The cycle of blasting starts with safe manufacturing and availability of reliable explosives. Educating and supporting Blasters to use explosive, as power tools, safely and efficiently for a wide verity of end use. Growth, renewal, and eventual decay, all need blasters. The attached photos represent these facts. Lest the details be with the observer. We are easy to reach. Shalom.
