Superior technical support

At Austin, we want to help make your job easier and more profitable.

Since 1833, we've worked hard to earn a reputation as a leader in the development of customer-driven products. We're proud of that tradition. Today, our Red Diamond research facility continues the tradition. Every Austin product developed at our R&D laboratories must pass a stringent quality assurance testing program before it is introduced into the market.

Our technical services group assists our customers around the world, providing state-of-the-art analysis for a variety of blasting needs. We developed QED®, a computer-based virtual blasting program used to forecast fragmentation, damage, muckpile shape and vibration levels. It also helps our customers save time and money by modeling different blasting situations.

Austin utilizes a fleet of mobile tech vans, staffed with trained Austin explosives engineers. These vans are equipped with blasting analysis tools providing superior technological services at the blast site. These services include: laser profilers, borehole deviation measurement tools, continuous VOD equipment, seismographs and high-speed cameras.
