Singapore Port Extension

The blasting company originally founded by dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel has carried out what it claims is the largest ever underwater blasting exercise to prepare for a major new port in Singapore.

Madrid-headquartered conglomerate Maxam designed and executed more than 100 subsea blasts using nearly 1,000 tons of its water gel explosive Rioflex to break hard rock in order to deepen the channel for a major expansion of Singapore Port.
