Technical Expertise
Company capabilitiesUnderground Drill & Blast
End-to-end underground D&B engineering—from ring design and charge plans to implementation support. We deliver high-quality, on-site or remotely delivered designs for operations worldwide, enhanced by our Prottiming-UG platform and experienced specialist team.
Open Pit Drill & Blast
Blast design and execution support for open-pit operations, including pattern design, timing optimisation, and tie-in with mine schedules. Our team brings deep open-pit experience and a focus on optimisation across all work-flow areas of design, implementation and review.
D&B Optimisation
We target vibration control, flyrock control, improved fragmentation and diggability, and wall control outcomes through rigorous design, monitoring, and iterative optimisation so blasts meet both production and environmental goals.
Underground Planning
Strategic and tactical underground mine planning—stope sequencing, development scheduling, and integration with D&B and ventilation. We use industry-standard tools and methodologies to support safe, efficient underground operations.
Open Pit Planning
Long and short-term open-pit mine planning, including pit optimisation, phase design, and haulage planning. Our plans are buildable, schedule-aligned, and tuned to your geology, equipment, and business objectives.
Drill & Blast Designs Delivered
Since 2020 our team consistently delivers high-quality drill and blast designs, in both open-pit and underground mining operations. With high quality and high output, our team's capabilities are industry-leading in both efficiency and quality—with our proprietary digital solutions advancing our team ahead of the industry.

Technology & Innovation
Leveraging cutting-edge technology for mining excellence
Prottiming
Our proprietary algorithm developed in 2019 used to combat the competing objectives of drill and blast engineering. Engineers are often trying to balance competing design objectives - optimal fragmentation vs blast induced vibration are common - and the Prottiming algorithm does this in an optimal way. Implemented by Tier 1 global leading D&B programs since 2020 helping operations as a SaaS.
Prottiming-UG
Our client facing software - The Design tool we always wish we had. It's industry leading in its capabilities - and our technical knowledge in the design space, as well as the entire workflow it is clear why this software is welcomed across the industry.
Prottiming-OP
Coming SoonComing Soon - Our client facing D&B software. Again due to our strong industry knowledge in the design workflow - designer challenges, we are entering the market bringing our deep industry knowledge to the party.
Modelling & Simulation
We have been involved in multiple modelling and simulation studies - flyrock modelling through simulation and generating probabilistic outcomes. We have bespoke vibration analytical tools assisting operations in better understanding the vibration responses.
