Drilling and Blasting Services in BC from FAFO Contracting
Precision Drilling & Production Blasting Services
FAFO Contracting delivers professional drilling and blasting solutions for mining, infrastructure, and heavy civil projects across British Columbia. Whether dealing with complex urban rock cuts or high-volume production blasting for open pits, we provide the technical expertise and modern equipment required to excavate rock safely and efficiently.
Safe & Controlled Rock Excavation
Excavating hard rock requires planning and precision. We tailor our approach to the specific conditions of your site, ensuring strict vibration control and fly-rock mitigation. From preparing foundations in tight construction zones to clearing remote highway alignments in the East Kootenay, our team prioritizes safety and regulatory compliance at every stage.
Production & Precision Techniques
We utilize advanced technology to optimize blast patterns for your specific end-goal. For mining clients, we focus on fragmentation and volume to feed the plant efficiently. For civil developers, we focus on line control and stability to create clean, stable walls for infrastructure. Our precision blasting ensures you get the exact cut you need with minimal overbreak.
Drill. Blast. Crush.
FAFO Contracting offers a distinct advantage by integrating drilling and blasting directly with our crushing and excavation divisions. Because we handle the downstream processing, we blast with the crusher in mind. This “pit-to-pile” approach produces better fragmentation for your feed, reduces wear on your liners, and eliminates the logistical headache of coordinating multiple subcontractors.
Modern Fleet & Compliance
We operate a fleet of modern drilling rigs capable of handling diverse terrain and rock hardness. Our operations are backed by rigorous safety protocols and a deep understanding of provincial permitting, ensuring that your project adheres to all WorkSafeBC and environmental regulations without sacrificing speed or productivity.

Don’t let hard rock stall your schedule. Partner with a team that manages the entire excavation cycle safely.
