Sukhaya Balka intends to replace electric detonators with non-electric ones in order to improve efficiency and safety of explosive works.
Electric detonators have a 5% rate of failure. Thus, there could be 800 failed explosions in a year. This results in additional work of demolition workers and tunnellers.
Moreover, electric detonators are dangerous.
The innovation will help considerably decrease the number of failed detonations and optimize expenses, resulting in the decrease of manufacturing expenses as a whole and saving the company around 3 million UAH. (Ukrainian metal)
