Airdecking blasting techniques have undergone significant improvements and attracted considerable attention in recent decades, particularly for their increased blasting efficiency, reduced vibration, highwall protection, reduced explosives use, and other benefits, which will undoubtedly provide significant benefits to companies.

Many tools can be made to create air cavities, from recycled materials to technology-based tools like gas bags or blast bags. Blast bags are used to create air cavities and have been proven to be safe, quick to install, accurate, and reliable, and, of course, create air cavities. If the tools fail and the airdeck sags, this can result in misfires, reduced productivity, and lost production. Therefore, quality is a crucial part of tool/accessory selection.

Although widely adopted in Australia, South America, Chile, Indonesia and other countries, the airdeck concept tends to work optimally at medium to moderate rock hardness levels (Rule of Thumb <200 MPa).

The airdeck can be placed at the bottom, middle or top of the explosives column.

When airdecks are successfully applied in suitable geology, they typically result in a 15-30% increase in fragmentation in the target area, and a 15-30% reduction in blasting costs compared to conventional blasting. This can provide significant downstream benefits, from better and faster excavation and haulage to more efficient demolition.
