Production Drilling & Blasting
Production drilling and blasting are key stages in mine development and ore extraction. This process involves drilling precise patterns of blast holes designed to fragment rock efficiently and create optimal conditions for material loading and haulage. Accuracy and consistency in hole placement are essential to achieving controlled fragmentation, minimizing dilution, and maintaining overall production efficiency.
Foraco’s production drilling services cover a wide range of applications, from open pit operations to underground stoping. The company’s specialized equipment and experienced teams ensure that every blast design meets exacting safety, quality, and performance standards.
Typical applications include:
• Blast hole drilling for open pit and underground production
• Pre-split and trim blasting to control wall stability
• Pattern design and layout for optimal fragmentation
• Controlled blasting to minimize vibration and dilution
With advanced drill control systems, high-precision rigs, and experienced operators, Foraco delivers production drilling and blasting programs that maximize recovery, improve efficiency, and maintain the highest safety standards across all sites.
