Benchmark Monitoring personnel from NSW and WA joined drill and blast professionals at the 2017 Annual Conference of the International Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE) Australian Chapter. The meeting was very enjoyable with attendance of people from across the globe at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle. With a high level of genuine passion for the subject matter the level of discussion and sharing of information was excellent. Benchmark took the opportunity to showcase Kaboom and discuss current and future needs of drill and blast crews. We will take this input and continue to advance our product with the goal of continuing to fulfill the monitoring needs of operations utilising blasting.
