The wire rope blasting mat was invented and developed to protect lives and property during the turn of the century New York City 3rd Ave. subway project. The wire rope blasting mat made an immediate impact on the safety standards of blasting operations in high density urban areas. Wire rope blasting mats are the only blasting mat designed to vent gasses which give the blaster more control.

Wire rope blasting mats weigh an astonishing 16 pounds per square foot (65 kg/m). This means you are getting twice as many square feet per truck over rubber, while increasing safety and control. With today"s high fuel costs, this is a definite advantage in day to day operational cost.

Wire rope blasting mats are the most versatile and flexible units on the market today. This gives it the ability to adapt to any topography, face or blasting operation. Our wire rope blasting mats come complete with a built in bridle system that makes setting our blast mats simple.

A blasting mat is a mat usually made of sliced-up rubber tires bound together with ropes, cables or chains. They are used during rock blasting to contain the blast, prevent flying rocks and suppress dust.

Blasting mats are used when explosives are detonated in places such as quarries or construction sites. The mats are placed over the blasting area to contain the blast, suppress noiseenvironment in proximity to the blast site.

Blasting mats are often used in combination with blasting blankets as an additional layer over the mats. The blankets are larger than the mats designed to retain the fragments that have managed to pass through the mat. Blasting blankets are used for both horizontal and vertical blasting.

Blasting mats made from used tires can serve a double purpose as road stabilizers, or road surface, in locations where roads leading to the blasting site are unstable or nonexistent,

A number of materials are used for making blasting mats and new materials with different properties are constantly being introduced into this field.old tires held together by steel cables, mats woven from manila rope or wire cables, logs or conveyor belts.wire netting can also be used.

Blasting mats made from rope woven on wires were first used during the construction of the IRT Third Avenue Line in New York City in the early 1900s. They were used to protect the surrounding buildings and were favored since they prevented fly rock but vented gasses.

Mats made from recycled tires can be fashioned in a number of ways depending on how the tires are cut. Some examples are tread mats, sidewall mats and mats from non-flattened sections of tires.

When charges are used to dig foxholes, an improvised blasting mat made from whole tires tied together with rope to reduce noise and fly rock, is recommended in the A Soldiers Handbook (United States). A tarp may also be used as a blasting blanket.

Over the years, a number of incidents with fatal outcomes have been caused by fly rock. In most of these, blasting mats were not used or they were placed over the blasting face in an incorrect manner.Cape Ray, Newfoundland and Labrador when a 7 kg (15 lb) fly rock travelled about 250 m (820 ft) from the blast site

Although designed to prevent accidents, as blasting mats weigh between 3,000 and 6,000 lb (1,400 and 2,700 kg), they have also caused injuries when falling on workers on construction sites.

Blasting mats must be thoroughly inspected before each use to ensure there are no blown out segments or broken cables, by a blaster. Blasting mats will deteriorate with each use to the point where they become ineffective for their intended purpose. Only trained experienced and adequately supervised crews should be used in the placement of these devices over a loaded shot. A common complaint is accidental breakage of bus wires, leg wires or pinching off the non electric tubes that may result in the misfire of the shot.

HOLEYBELT is very light (compared with woven tyre matting), very strong, and very easy to roll up for storage. It rolls out flat each time and is easy to peg or tie down when the cattle are on them for several days at a time. I have 4 mats 1200mm wide X 2.5m long (4ft x 8ft) which double as truck mats and show mats.

Blasting mats are used as protection against fragment of blast shots and fly rocks as the result of explosion. The blast mats provided optimal protection and greatly increase the safety of site workers and public. The mayor advantage of blasting mat is is the fact that during explosion the mat cover allows the air pressure and gases through while itself does not move (or hardly) but still containers fly rocks and debris.

Another usage for blasting mats is road carpets for heavy machinery in sensitive areas. Blasting mats are used as ground cover in forest and prevents formation of track grooves. Blasting mats provides ideals surface in muddy areas and provides firm and stable support for machinery. There is no danger of moving and shifting of cover while that sometime might happen with metal constructions. Blasting mats also can be used in cities and towns on asphalt to prevent asphalt or concrete base damage while heavy machinery is in operation.

Blasting mats can be made of rubber, wire, or rope products.FLINTSTONE BLAST MATS are produced from the rubber tread of steel belted truck tyres, laid flat in two overlapping layers in brickbat style, and sewn with 6 lengths of 14mm galvanised steel cable, with galvanised fittings. The steel belting embedded within the vulcanised rubber gives our mats extreme strength and penetration resistance, and the thickness and density of the rubber provides the necessary weight, protection, and stability.

Often required in the mining and civil engineering, a heavy, tearresistantblasting mat is used to cover the surface, and sometimes the face, of a blasting area to prevent the dangerous projection of rock fragments.

The weight in the solid rubber, the strength of the steel belting, and the quality steel rope cables, make our blast mats a long lasting value for money must-have for many blasting projects.

Blast mats can also be utilized in many other operations from road and track protection and machinery pads, to subsea uses, temporary boat ramps, swamp mats, and more.

Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce various size steel cabled, steel belted, rubber mats from 1.0 m x 1.0 m to maximum 3.1 m x 7.0 m and weight is up to 1400 kg. Our mats are at least 60kg/m2, giving them the necessary weight to perform the task.

Australian Standard AS2187.2-2006 states in Section 12.3: "Where protection from the possibility of fly is necessary, blasting mats or other suitable controls shall be used."

A well-designed blast will always be improved by having the increased safety factor provided by the use of blast mats. Mats are an essential addition to even the best of blasting designs in sensitive areas, where flyrock poses a risk of injury to persons or damage to property.

Just one direct hit to persons or third party property (or even a near miss) can result in personal tragedy, legal implications, licence suspensions, and increased insurance premiums.

Mats hung in front of the face generally incur increased wear and tear as they tend to get buried under the muck pile and can suffer damage during recovery, dependent on the blast result and the methods of retrieval.

The steel cabling and lifting loops make our mats practically “operator-proof” whether used in blasts or positioned and repositioned many times over for other uses such as track and road carpeting, machinery pads, or water edge ramps, plant and equipment, or mudmats.

With well-designed blast plans and sensible contractor handling such as removing the bulk of rock from buried mats after the blast rather than hooking and pulling out through the broken rock, our mats have been shown to last over a hundred blasts, and still counting.

When blasting in urban areas or near sensitive assets, both the explosives and blasting regulator in your jurisdiction, and your insurance company, will require you to take all reasonable and necessary steps to prevent the dangerous projection of rock fragments.

The five environmental hazards from blasting are ground vibration, airblast overpressure, dust, fumes, and flyrock. There are prescribed upper limits for vibration, overpressure, dust, and fumes. The use of blasting mats is an effective control strategy.

Our design makes our mats flexible for better coverage.Mazzella Wire Rope Blasting Mats have been effectively serving the Blasting, Construction and Demolition industries for over 100 years.
