ABOUT US
Founded in 2005 by Alan Vickery, Rock on Ground’s first commission was a Rio Tinto project located at Hope Downs.
The initial focus: providing specialised close to infrastructure blasting, with the blasthole drilling to be sub-contracted.
The company grew quickly as the civil work increased with the major iron ore expansions by Rio Tinto, BHP, FMG and then Roy Hill. In 2010 ROG move into providing drill and blast services for mining contracts and secured its first gold mining contract with Saracen Gold Mines at Carosue Dam.
Thanks to continued growth and expansion, the company today boasts a mixed
fleet of top hammer, DTH hammer and RC grade control drill rigs, with 24 drill rigs in the fleet.
The company also runs its own fleet of IEE Bulk Explosive trucks and provides dedicated on-site bulk explosive storage facilities.
