Energy, heavy civil and quarry
On energy projects we drill and blast for pipelines (mainline and distribution), hydro-electric dams, wind and solar farms, and LNG site preparation.
For public and private owners we also do road and site preparation, limestone and granite quarrying, tunnelling, bridge and dam piers, test drilling, and grout holes in rock or concrete. Rock anchors, grouting and shoring are on the Ground Support page.

Highways
Rock cuts beside open roads
Twinning a highway means blasting next to the lanes that stay open: traffic held for each shot, rock kept off the pavement, and vibration held to the provincial limit at the nearest structure.

Highway 103 Twinning
Chester, Nova Scotia
Mass rock excavation for the twinning of Highway 103 at Chester — 216 blasts since September 2025, loaded with bulk emulsion, beside an open highway and under a 12.5 mm/s limit at the nearest structure.

Highway 11/17 Twinning
Thunder Bay to Nipigon, Ontario
Drill and blast across five contracts on the twinning of the Trans-Canada Highway between Thunder Bay and Nipigon — cutting rock for new lanes with traffic running alongside.

Bulk Emulsion
Emulsion on construction sites
Most construction specifications are written around hand-loaded cartridge explosives. We bring bulk emulsion to the job instead — made in our own plants and pumped straight into the hole by mini pumpers operating under approvals from the Explosives Regulatory Division of Natural Resources Canada.
It is the same product and the same metered loading we use on mine sites, applied to highways, dam spillways and work beside occupied structures.
A known charge in every hole
The pumper meters emulsion through calibrated flow systems, hole by hole, so the charge per delay is what the design says it is.
Fully coupled, no voids
Pumped emulsion fills the borehole. No air gaps between cartridges means less scatter in energy from hole to hole — and steadier vibration next to dams, highways and buildings.
Built for wet ground
Excellent water resistance for wet holes and variable ground, with fewer misfires and none of the packaging waste of cartridge product.
Less handling at the crest
Pumped from a secure vehicle rather than placed cartridge by cartridge — less manual handling, and less time for crews at the edge of the excavation.
