Remote Avalanche Control Systems
Our products, including Gazex, Gazflex, Obellx, and DaisyBell, are considered the gold standard in remote avalanche control worldwide. These non-explosive gas-based avalanche control systems provide 24/7 protection for critical infrastructure and are designed to deliver optimal performance even in Canada’s harsh winters and remote alpine terrain.
GAZEX
Gazex is the leading product in remote avalanche initiation, backed by over 30 years of research and design. Gazex delivers a powerful blast designed to initiate avalanches even in hard slab conditions. These robust units can be loaded with oxygen and propane for a full season, avoiding the need to resupply.
GAZFLEX
Gazflex is a variety of Gazex mounted on a single foundation above a start zone for use in vertical terrain. It has all the advantages of a regular Gazex system.
OBELLX+
Obellx is a versatile, removable avalanche control system designed to sit on a single, smaller foundation. It uses hydrogen and oxygen to deliver a focused blast in the start zone.
DAISY BELL
Used worldwide as a nonexplosive, gas-based mobile exploder, the Daisybell attaches to a helicopter’s long line for use in helicopter avalanche control routes. It is a cost-effective and time-efficient system that provides a precise blast, avoiding issues such as fly rock and artillery overshoot.
