Dyno Nobel debuts handheld electronic initiation system

Dyno Nobel introduced the newest addition to its electronic initiation offering: the Navus handheld blaster . According to Dyno Nobel, Navus is a lightweight, portable unit allowing operations to safely and reliably initiate blasts. Weighing 1.3 lbs., Navus can be carried anywhere on-site. It supports up to 1.6 miles of harness wire for extended setups in surface and underground applications. Dyno Nobel says Navus is an ideal solution to initiate Nonel rounds when used with Dyno Nobel’s electronic DriftShot starters underground. DriftShot starters eliminate stray currents, radiofrequency interference and static discharge. Together, the company says Navus and DriftShot provide greater safety, efficiency and control to empower operations to achieve superior blasting outcomes. For operations switching from Nonel detonators to electronic detonators, Dyno Nobel says Navus facilitates a smooth transition with a design engineered for simplicity in the field.

MPA flags construction materials demand at historic lows

NEW data from the Mineral Products Association (MPA) show that demand for core construction materials remains stuck at alarmingly weak levels, placing businesses under severe strain and threatening jobs now and supply capacity for the future. Demand for UK construction materials remains at historic lows, with 2025 marking a fourth consecutive year of decline, according to the MPA. While sales of some products stabilized at a low base in the fourth quarter of 2025, there was no change in the overall picture. Over 2025, demand for key materials, including concrete (-9.9%), aggregates (-1.6%) and asphalt (-1.1%) fell for a fourth consecutive year, leaving sales volumes at historic lows. A 5.2% annual increase in mortar sales masked a sharp loss of momentum in the second half of the year. The Association says weak materials demand, alongside rising costs, is forcing businesses to take difficult decisions to cut capacity and control costs. Sites are being mothballed, investment deferred, an

MSHA reports two mining fatalities in January

The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) reported two mining fatalities in January – both at cement plants. The first fatal mining accident of 2026 took place Jan. 6 in California, where a contractor died after being struck by the motor and gearbox assembly of a baghouse slide gate. MSHA classified the incident as a machinery accident. Two days later, on Jan. 8, an over-the-road truck driver died after being pinned between the dump bed and frame of a truck at a cement plant. The agency classified the incident as a powered haulage accident. In response to the Jan. 8 fatality, MSHA issued the following best practices for mine operators: • Establish and discuss safe work procedures before beginning work. Identify and control all hazards associated with the work, and use methods to properly protect people. • Before working on equipment, block all raised components against motion and ensure people are positioned in a safe location – and away from “red zone” areas. • Never work und
