Consbec in New Brunswick
What we do here
Our Atlantic explosives site is near Moncton. It has an emulsion plant and a drilling parts inventory, and it supplies our work across the Maritimes.
In northern New Brunswick we have cut new spillways into rock beside tailings dams at the Caribou and Heath Steele mines, with every blast monitored against a 25 mm/s vibration limit at the dam. Between 2000 and 2008 we drilled and blasted pipeline and terminal rock around Saint John.

Our work in New Brunswick
Tailings, dams & spillways
Caribou Mine — Tailings Dam Raise
Near Bathurst, New Brunswick
New spillways cut into rock beside a tailings dam and its concrete spillway — 30 blasts under a 25 mm/s limit at the dam, every one independently monitored, the highest reading 37% of the limit.

Heath Steele Mine — Auxiliary Spillway
Wayerton, New Brunswick
A new auxiliary spillway cut through rock near two tailings dams, held to 25 mm/s at the dam — designed from measured vibration data rather than textbook constants, and loaded with metered bulk emulsion.
