Collection: Collar / Hole Protection

Collar and hole protection is the work that decides whether your hole is still loadable when you get back to it. Between drilling and loading — and again during loading itself — the collar zone is where most blast problems start: drill cuttings falling back in, water running off into the hole, stemming blowing out the top instead of staying put, and flyrock at the collar zone you can't explain to a safety officer.

This collection covers both stages. The Collarcone Hole Saver caps the hole between drilling and loading. BLASTBAGS™, BLASTBALL™, and SLUMPSTOPPA™ seal or retain the column during loading — collar air decks, wet-hole sealing, and uphole emulsion retention all in one collection.
