Quarry Blasting

Quarry managers have a one-on-one relationship with their RedBull shotfirer, who in turn gains valuable, site-specific experience. Best blasting results are achieved through an understanding of quarry rock formations to optimise blast fragmentation for that particular quarry.

RedBull’s supervisor arranges all logistics and drill rig supply to meet each quarry's demands. This ensures clear communication lines and undiluted performance, responsibility and accountability.

Quarry managers place blasting orders with the RedBull regional supervisor who in turn arranges:

  • Blast design and mark-out
  • Drilling by a TopRock rig
  • Manufacture and delivery of bulk explosives by the RedBull manufacturing team
  • Load, fire and shoot
  • Monitoring, quality control, reporting, liaison and follow-up
