What we provide

Core blast-hole drilling services

Proposed scope

Built for open-pit coal mines

For open-pit coal operations we can cover mobilisation, drilling to the approved pattern and depth, hole cleaning, shift production records, routine maintenance and HSE compliance.

Blast-hole drilling is delivered using Down-the-Hole (DTH) drill rigs with high-pressure compressed air, subject to the client mine plan and rig configuration.

Explosives supply, blasting services, surveying, fuel and other items can be included or excluded according to the final contract scope.

Project-specific rates are prepared from metres drilled, mobilisation/demobilisation, standby and agreed operating conditions after receiving the mine plan.
