We can tailor a drill and blast training course to your needs. Whether the training is for surface or underground blasting, engineers, or blasters, we have the material and knowledge to help your team.

We offer a unique package of drill and blast instrumentation so we can collect data on drilling accuracy, explosive product performance, loading practices, and muckpile fragmentation. Our tools include seismographs, accelerometers, strain gages, microphones, detonation velocity machines, borehole survey probes, and others.

We are skilled with finding the root cause of drill and blast issues you and your team may be facing. We use instrumentation and data to drive our investigation so that we know exactly what is happening during the blasting process.

We can conduct a one to two week review of your operation, which allows us to understand the full mining process from drilling through blasting, loading, hauling, and crushing. Armed with the knowledge gained from a site audit, we can help you direct your efforts to areas where you can save the most money or see the most improvement to your operation.

Do you have a new situation or problem that you aren’t used to dealing with on a daily basis? We can bring our experience and know-how to your operation to help you plan around new and unknown drill and blast projects.

These days hiring good engineers can be time consuming and difficult. We can contract with you to provide drill and blast services on a temporary basis while you look to fill the position with the best candidate.

In today’s world, it’s tough to have someone in a drill and blast engineering position for a long time or for knowledge to be retained. It can even be tough to be consistent across crews that split shifts. We can help provide over-the-shoulder support to newer engineers, provide consistency across engineering crews, and retain operational knowledge long-term as engineers come and go throughout the life of an operaiton.

If your operation requires long-term seismograph monitoring for regulatory compliance, we can help with planning, monitoring, and seismogram interpretation.

Are you considering drill pattern changes, explosive product changes, or timing changes? We can bring our knowledge and experience to the table to help you make the right decisions and obtain the best results, whether your goal is vibration control, fragmentation improvement, or something else.

If you find yourself in the undesirable situation of being in litigation, we can support you as an expert witness in your case. We aren’t guns for hire and we don’t take any side just to make a buck. But if your argument has merit and we think the facts will prove your side of the case, we would be happy to help your litigation team.

Drill and blast engineering is a niche specialist discipline. If you are an engineer or consultant and your company does not have the resources to provide detailed drill and blast engineering support, we can subcontract you to provide that service.

Our team can help yours if you are facing contract negotiations. If you aren’t familiar with selecting a drill and blast contractor, changing explosive sources, or selecting a new type of explosive product, we can provide the experience you need to line up your contract successfully.

If your blast results aren’t where you need them to be…either the neighbors are complaining or you’re exceeding vibration limits…or you are producing too much oversize or too many fines…we can help. We can help direct your blast design changes to improve your results quickly and accuractely.
