The Academy of Blasting and Explosive Technology

In the 21st century, blasting has undergone dramatic changes leading to the advancement of both the science and engineering principles used in today's blast design. With these rapid changes it may be difficult to keep up and ensure that your blasting operation is the most effective.

What is effective blasting? Ask yourself these questions:

1) Do you know how to redesign a pattern without any guesswork and get to within 90% accuracy, and be able to calculate this "on the back of an envelope"?

2) Do you frequently suffer from improper fragmentation, either through unsalable fines or equipment damaging, production slowing oversize?

3) Do you have to employee any secondary blasting in your operation?

4) Do you have smooth highwalls that are safe for your workers and at the optimal angle for maximum profit?

5) Do you know how to properly time a blast that minimal vibration, good fragmentation, and smooth walls are accomplished?

The Academy of Blasting and Explosive Technology

While our instructors have been teaching industry and college level seminars for the past 50 years our director and founder, Dr. Calvin Konya, realized a strong need in the industry for a set training center for blasting and explosives. This is when Dr. Konya developed the Academy of Blasting and Explosive Technology (ABET) for professional training.

Based in Montville, Ohio the Academy offers attendees private suites for stay during the course as well as miles of nature walking trails, fishing lakes and boating, and gourmet meals including our 24 oz. steak nights and bonfires!
