Pacific Islands

RedBull has successfully undertaken a wide range of blasting activities throughout the Pacific Islands in recent years.

Many members of the RedBull team have hands-on experience in the challenging environment of blasting in Pacific Islands. Typically, a drill rig and “W” magazines are shipped from New Zealand and barged to individual islands. Airport, roading, quarry or underwater blasting projects are then completed and resources de-mobilised to other islands or back to New Zealand.

Recent blasting operations include:

• Malarua Quarry, Vanuatu
  Blasting for a roading project.
• Pentecost Island, Vanuatu
  New airport runway.
• Ambae Island, Vanuatu

• Manahiki and Rakahanga, Cook Islands
  Underwater reef blasting.
• Suva, Fiji
  Local quarry blasting.
• Vanua Levu Island, Fiji
  Roading and quarry blasting.
• Supply of explosives numerous Pacific Island locations.
• Pitcairn Island
  Supply for port development.
