Rock drilling

Rock drilling ensures stable foundations for structures even in difficult conditions

JIITEE Työt provides blasting holes, holes for reinforcement bolts, and rock drilling from construction adhesions to anchor hole drilling. Over the years, we have drilled an impressive amount of holes in a variety of locations such as metro depots, mines and train tunnels. Our extremely wide range of drilling equipment enables efficient and safe rock drilling in both confined spaces and high-up locations. Our subsidiary Tyly Technologies manufactures drills designed especially for spaces where a drill rig cannot fit or where the base cannot bear the weight of a drill rig. Drilling in high places, on the other hand, can be done with specialized equipment.

Rock drilling is an essential phase in many construction projects, especially in situations where the bedrock significantly affects the construction process or is used as the foundation of the building. Rock drilling requires the use of specialized equipment that utilizes a combination of rotation and impact for drilling or breaking through the rock.

Rock drilling is needed in various projects, such as the construction of road tunnels, bridges, sewer tunnels, and building foundations. It is a vital step in situations where it is necessary to excavate or drill holes for the support structures of a building. Rock drilling enables stable foundations for structures even in difficult conditions. It provides an efficient way to make holes in rock for embedding rock anchors, bolts or other support structures.
