Production Drilling for Quarry, Civil & Mining Projects

Production drilling requires more than simply achieving metres.

Hole location, inclination, depth and consistency can influence downstream excavation, fragmentation, wall control and overall project efficiency.

QDBS provides production drilling services for quarry, civil, mining and infrastructure projects requiring reliable drilling output across both short-term campaigns and ongoing production environments.

Our crews can mobilise individual rigs or multiple drill rigs depending on production requirements and programme constraints.

Blast Hole Drilling

Accurate blast hole drilling is essential to maintain burden and spacing geometry defined in blast designs.

Production Drilling

Our drilling operations maintain consistent penetration rates, hole geometry, and drilling accuracy across variable ground conditions, ensuring reliable preparation for blasting or excavation.

Full Drill & Blast Services

We deliver complete drill and blast services, including blast design integration, drilling execution, explosives coordination, and blast preparation.

Explosives Delivery & Coordination

We support explosive logistics and coordination, ensuring reliable supply and delivery aligned with drilling and blasting programmes.

Specialist Drilling for Controlled Rock Removal

Rock excavation becomes more complex when work is undertaken near roads, structures, services, existing development or defined excavation boundaries.

QDBS provides specialist drilling methods that support more controlled rock excavation and help project teams manage the conditions surrounding the work area.

Close Proximity Blasting

Close proximity blasting requires precise control of vibration, energy distribution, and blast sequencing.

Line Drilling

Line drilling creates controlled fracture planes that allow rock to separate cleanly along defined boundaries.

Rock Peppering

Rock peppering involves drilling smaller diameter holes to weaken rock structures and allow controlled removal without excessive vibration or structural damage.

Trench Drilling & Blasting

Trench drilling supports installation of pipelines, utilities, and infrastructure requiring excavation through rock. Our drilling services ensure controlled trench profiles and safe excavation preparation.

Non-Explosive Rock Removal

Where blasting is restricted or unsuitable, drilling enables alternative rock removal methods.

Cased Hole Drilling

Cased holes maintain borehole stability in fractured, unstable, or variable ground conditions, ensuring accurate hole geometry and safe drilling outcomes.

Soil Nail Drilling

Soil nail drilling provides reinforcement for slopes, retaining walls, and excavation faces.
Applications include:
Civil infrastructure stabilisation
Road and rail cuttings
Slope stabilisation projects

Ground Anchor Drilling

Ground anchors provide deep structural support for stabilisation systems used in civil and infrastructure environments.

Micro Pile Drilling

Micro piles provide structural foundation reinforcement where conventional piling methods are unsuitable due to access, ground conditions, or structural constraints.

Weep Hole Drilling

Weep holes allow water drainage from rock structures and retaining systems, reducing hydrostatic pressure and improving long-term stability.

Pre-Drilled Pile Holes

Pre-drilled holes support installation of structural piles used in infrastructure and foundation systems.
