Are you getting the best results from your explosives products? ADB conduct regular Velocity of Detonation (VoD) testing on the explosive products and blends we use. The detailed analysis completed allows ADB to provide tailored product recommendations for your project’s unique requirements – delivering the most efficient and effective blasting solution.

ADB understands how different geology and ground conditions affect the vibration generated by blasting. Our experience utilising Seed Hole Analysis ensures we can accurately predict vibration outcomes to improve blast performance and protect heritage sites and other sensitive areas and structures.

ADB is focussed on broadening the messages we deliver and the initiatives we support regarding mental health and worked with Blue Tree Project to create our own conversation starter – a bright blue drill.
