It is the first light weight, effective and durable barricade ever. UBB have the following benefits, compared to other inefficient blasting barricades:
-
It can frequently be moved with every blast, or after every 2nd or 3rd blast (45-60min to erect), therefore enabling cycle mining
-
It contains virtually all the ore between the face and the barricade, after blasting
-
It can withstand more than 60 blasts at 4 meters from the face
