Quarry
Orica works with Quarry Customers to develop the competitive edge every quarry needs. From this partnership, Orica endeavours to provide safe and efficient blasting, predictable results, fast and reliable delivery and reduced operating costs.
Fragmentation, diggability as well as noise and vibration control are just a few of the factors that Orica can manage in designing blasts. We aim to optimise these elements to help customers enhance their quarry performance.
Orica supports Customers in evaluating all production criteria in order to provide a blast result tailored to meet individual needs. Designing blast outcomes that aim to optimise productivity while complying with strict environmental controls means that Orica is the ideal partner to help you achieve operational success.
The major services Orica Quarry Services offer are:
Down the Hole (DTH)
This service incorporates manufacture and loading of bulk explosives down the blasthole and is the most frequently contracted service. A wide range of tailored bulk explosives products are delivered in this way, using specifically designed delivery equipment.
Total Loading Service (TLS)
In addition to the bulk explosives loading, this service typically incorporates marking out of the shot, measurement of blasthole depth, priming of the blasthole, layout and tie-in of the shot initiation sequence, blast guard duties and may include firing of the shot.
Rock on Ground (ROG)
As part of a Rock on Ground service, Orica undertakes a totally integrated blasting service to deliver blasted ground to a specification and schedule which has been agreed with the customer. This service includes management of the total drilling and blasting process, including conducting the design of the blast.
