Robertson Consulting is dedicated to utilising the drill and blast cycle so that the positive effects are felt on every other cycle downstream in the opencast mining operation. Blasting is treated as the primary tool in assisting the primary crusher to work to its full potential.

Robertson Consulting realises the importance of good blasting records and have developed their own procedures which can be adapted to any mine site. Using these procedures accurate records can be kept for drilling, blasting, fragmentation and cost management.

Although Robertson Consulting makes use of blasting software for blast planning we ensure that every blast is treated individually. All our consultants have over 15 years each in the field starting as drillers and/or shot firers and gaining promotion to staff and managerial positions.

In all aspects of drilling and blasting the primary concern of Robertson Consulting is safety. It therefore goes without saying that it is highly unusual for RC to have misfires or accidents on site, and this is reflected in our training of drillers and shot firers in all aspects of drilling and blasting.
