Our equipment consists of an Ingersoll-Rand percussion hammer with a 20-inch bit, mounted on a National 880C boom. It reaches 30 feet from the center of the truck and digs to a depth of 18 feet.
Utility pole foundations, anchoring systems, or transmission structures: our rock drilling keeps your project on track without compromising safety or structural integrity. We're built to break through, and we don't back down from hard ground.
Every rock drilling job starts with a clear read of subsurface conditions. We assess the material, select the bit and hammer, and position the rig for accuracy and stability. We make hard work look easy, and we make sure it lasts.

Questions, answered
The questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Ask us directly.
RFI-01What types of projects require rock drilling?
Utility pole foundations, transmission structures, guy wire anchors, and any job involving solid rock or dense ground.
RFI-02How deep can you drill?
We drill to your project's depth requirements, depending on rock type, location, and access. Our boom-mounted rig digs to 18 feet.
RFI-03Do you drill on uneven or remote terrain?
Yes. Our rigs and operators are equipped for sloped, rugged, and limited-access sites.
RFI-04How do you ensure accuracy and safety while drilling?
Calibrated equipment, stable mounting platforms, and strict safety procedures for clean, precise bores every time.
RFI-05How long does rock drilling typically take?
It depends on the material and depth, but our crews work efficiently to minimize delays and keep the project moving.
