Shot Sleeping
Professional overnight attendance of charged blasts, with clear handover documentation.
Professional overnight attendance of charged blasts.
Where a charged blast cannot be fired the same day, it may need to be held securely overnight and fired the following day. TEXC provides professional attendance for these situations.
The operational benefit is continuity — the shot is managed and documented so firing can proceed the following day without delay.

- Weather or an operational delay pushes firing out
