Our drill and blast capabilities

  • Production Blast Hole Drilling
    High-volume blast hole drilling for mining and quarry operations, designed to meet strict production schedules and optimize downstream material movement.

  • Controlled Blasting Drilling
    Drilling for controlled blasting programs in sensitive or complex environments, where accuracy, vibration control and site conditions need to be carefully managed.

  • Pre-Split Drilling
    High-accuracy drilling designed for wall control and pit stability, establishing clean fracture planes to ensure safer excavation outcomes and preserve highwall integrity.

  • Wall Relief Drilling
    Drilling of uncharged buffer holes to relieve geotechnical stress on pit walls, protecting final excavation limits and minimizing blast-induced damage.

  • Sample Production Hole Drilling
    Drilling executed within the active blast pattern to provide real-time geological data, ensuring accurate rock mass characterisation and grade verification before blasting.

  • Grade Control Drilling
    Targeted drilling to accurately delineate ore and waste boundaries in active pits, directly maximising ore recovery, minimising dilution, and guiding short-term mine planning.

  • Ground Support Drilling
    Drilling for specialised geotechnical reinforcement, installation of rock/cable bolts, and stabilisation solutions across demanding mining and civil environments.

  • Explosive Services
    Comprehensive blasting solutions including custom blast design, vibration monitoring, specialist equipment hire, and tailored blasting services for gold, iron ore, and quarry operations.
