TECHNICAL AND SAFETY ASPECTS FOR SETTING UP MOBILE EXPLOSIVES WAREHOUSES
Abstract
The execution of the blasting works involves the management of the problem of storage of explosive materials. This aspect is easier to solve in the case of mines activities with long exploitation time and where storage capacities are arranged, according to the legislation that provides constructive and safety criteria depending on the type and quantity of explosive materials stored. In the case of isolated blasting works, those for road construction, building demolition, underwater or forestry, etc., storage facilities must be arranged for shorter periods of time and smaller capacity, but which must comply with security, environmental and risk requirements, such as high-capacity deposits with long duration of activity. Considering that for the execution of such blasting works, the national legislation provides the possibility of arranging temporary explosive depots, of small capacity, but without specifying the constructive details and the necessary safety requirements to be observed, mentioning only that they must be executed based on a specialized project. This paper presents a series of tests conducted by INSEMEX, to establish recommendations regarding the constructive and safety requirements that must be observed when designing and building mobile explosive depots.
