Production Drill & Blast

Production drilling and blasting forms the foundation of excavation across civil, quarry, and mining environments. Hole accuracy, depth control, and collar positioning directly influence fragmentation quality, vibration control, and excavation efficiency.

Our drilling and blasting services ensure blast designs are executed exactly as engineered, supporting predictable fragmentation, safe blast performance, and efficient material handling.

Controlled Rock Excavation

Precision / proximity / profile control

Controlled excavation methods are essential when blasting near existing infrastructure, services, structures, or environmental constraints.

These techniques allow rock removal while protecting surrounding areas and maintaining structural integrity.

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

Rock Anchor Drilling

Rock anchors provide structural support for rock faces, retaining systems, and infrastructure requiring reinforcement.
This drilling supports installation of engineered anchor systems.

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.
