U nderwater blasting is one of the most demanding and specialized categories of technical projects.

Accuracy, know-how and continuous adherence to international safety and environmental protection protocols are inviolable requirements.

Exorixi, with many years of presence in port and marine projects throughout Greece, has developed a comprehensive methodology that ensures maximum efficiency with absolute respect for the marine environment.

What are underwater blasting? When are they required?

Underwater blasting is used when the nature of the project requires removal or disintegration of bedrockbelow the sea surface. It is often used in:

  • Port dredging
  • Creation of access channels for large ships
  • Support for maritime infrastructure
  • Installation of pipes or energy cables
  • Preparation for port or military projects

The goal is one: controlled removal of material with zero side effects on facilities, vessels or the natural environment.

Specialized underwater blasting techniques

Load placement with absolute precision

Divers and technicians use high-precision underwater tools, recording each point with GPS/SONAR, before placing explosives.

Use of special explosives for marine conditions

The materials used have special specifications for safe operation underwater, with strictly controlled energy.

Vibration calculation & shockwave attenuation

Measurement systems are used that calculate:

  • the extent of the shock wave,
  • the protection of underwater structures,
  • avoiding danger to marine life.

Staged blasting

For areas with a sensitive environment, a tactic of many small successive blasts is applied.
