Drilling & Blasting

Drilling & Blasting

Since its inception, FBC has grown rapidly, and we strive to be the largest drilling and blasting firm in Saudi Arabia.

Drilling and rock blasting for roads, mining, quarrying, tunneling, civil engineering works, trenching construction, demolition, water wells, foundation and geotechnical works, pipelines, foundations, tunnels, controlled blasting in built-up areas, as well as pre- and post-blast inspections, including seismograph monitoring and analysis, are among our services.

We also offer rock crushing — managed and maintained by highly qualified personnel — as well as general earthworks and excavation services for roads, foundations, reclamation and pipelines. Every blast is planned, supervised and monitored so that rock is broken efficiently while people, structures and the surrounding environment stay protected.
