Professional Mining Drilling & Blasting Services WA
Redline Drill & Blast was established in 2005 to address the growing demand for specialised drilling and blasting solutions in Western Australia's resource sector. Our team combines decades of hands-on experience with cutting-edge equipment to deliver precision-driven outcomes for open-pit mines, quarries, and construction sites. We prioritise multi-skilling and teamwork to tackle complex operational challenges while maintaining strict adherence to safety and efficiency standards. Our investment in advanced Sandvik drill rigs with GPS capabilities ensures unparalleled accuracy in blast hole drilling up to 35 metres deep. Through strategic partnerships with explosive suppliers and rigorous training programs, including our collaboration with Australian Training Management, we maintain a skilled workforce capable of meeting evolving industry demands.Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through initiatives like integrating Western Australia's first female driller into our operational team. Clients benefit from our self-sufficient operations model, supported by dedicated maintenance personnel and a fleet of mine-spec vehicles that enable reliable service delivery even in remote locations. We consistently achieve industry-leading penetration rates exceeding 60 drill metres per hour while maintaining strict budget and schedule compliance. Our consultancy services help clients optimise ore recovery through precise fragmentation strategies that enhance plant throughput. With two decades of operational experience, we have built a reputation for delivering technically complex projects with uncompromising quality standards.

Services
Drilling
Our Sandvik DP series drill rigs deliver precision blast hole drilling from 76mm to 140mm diameters. GPS guidance ensures accurate hole placement while hydraulic systems enable efficient oxide formation penetration. With maximum drilling depth of 35 metres and industry-leading 60+ drill metres per hour rates, we support large-scale mining operations across Western Australia.
Blasting
We implement tailored blasting solutions that optimise ore recovery through precise fragmentation control. Our certified shotfirers utilise advanced techniques to reduce dilution while maintaining strict WHS compliance. The service includes explosive selection, pattern design, and post-blast analysis to enhance plant throughput efficiency.
Blast Design
Our technical team develops custom blast designs that balance rock characteristics with processing requirements. Using 3D modelling software and field data, we create patterns that maximise fragmentation efficiency while minimising vibration impacts. This service improves mill throughput rates by 15-20% through optimised particle size distribution.
Consultancy Services
We provide expert guidance on drilling and blasting optimisation for mining projects at any scale. Our consultants analyse existing operations to identify efficiency gains, cost reductions, and safety improvements. Clients receive actionable recommendations backed by 20 years of field experience and technical expertise.
Equipment Maintenance
Our qualified technicians provide on-site maintenance for Sandvik drill rigs and associated equipment. Preventative servicing schedules ensure maximum uptime while field repairs minimise operational disruptions. This service extends equipment lifespan and maintains optimal performance in challenging mining environments.
