ABOUT ABLE BLASTING

Able Blasting is a family-owned specialist blasting company with more than 50 years of hands-on experience across Australia and overseas. From tight inner-city sites to major infrastructure projects, we’re known for getting the hard jobs done safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption.

Founded in the 1960s by Barry, Able Blasting is now a second-generation business run by Barry and his sons – Craig, Ross and Grant. Together, they bring decades of on-the-tools expertise to every project.

Whether you’re dealing with stubborn hard rock or need precise blasting around existing structures, we can tailor a solution to suit your project, your site, and your risk requirements.

Specialists in “Problem Jobs”

If you’ve hit rock that conventional machinery can’t shift, or you’re working in a location where vibration and safety are critical, that’s where we excel.

From the smallest access-challenged backyard to large-scale developments, we’re known as the crew people call when the job looks too hard. Our team is experienced in:

  • Working in and around existing homes and buildings

  • Blasting in tight or built-up areas

  • Designing blast patterns for sensitive structures

  • Providing practical advice when you’ve run out of options

  • Turning up when we say we will

  • Giving straightforward, honest advice

  • Doing the job right the first time

  • Standing behind the quality of our work

Our experience isn’t just measured in years – it’s proven on hundreds of successful projects completed safely and compliantly.

Blasting is serious work, and we treat it that way.

  • Strict adherence to all relevant standards and regulations

  • Safe work methods developed from decades on site
