Drilling and blasting
As a drilling and blasting contractor in Quebec, PG performs rock drilling, tunnel drilling and industrial blasting with blast designs, seismographs and vibration monitoring.
Construction & Expertise PG carries out drilling and blasting work across Quebec and Labrador for industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects. Our team of drillers and blasters works on projects of all sizes, in open environments as well as in areas with significant access constraints.
Our services include tunnel drilling, rock face drilling and blasting operations. We also perform drilling and blasting at height when conventional equipment cannot reach the work area.
Before each mobilization, our team analyzes the site configuration, the nature of the rock, the available access and the proximity of existing infrastructure. A work method is then prepared to coordinate the equipment, resources and safety measures required.
Thanks to the complementary expertise of our rope access technicians, geologists, engineers and field crews, PG can integrate drilling and blasting into a larger rock face stabilization, civil engineering or industrial construction project. This turnkey approach simplifies coordination and lets the client work with a single team across several project phases.

Frequently asked questions
How do you control vibration near buildings?+
With a sequenced blast design, reduced charges, electronic delays and seismograph monitoring, plus a pre-blast survey of neighbouring buildings to the applicable standard.
Do you perform tunnel and underground drilling?+
Yes. Our crews carry out tunnel drilling, rock bolting and confined-space blasting, coordinated with site ventilation and safety procedures.
Which permits does industrial blasting require?+
Explosives permits, a signed blast design, notices to authorities and neighbours, and a certified blaster on site. We handle all authorizations.
Can you drill at height or on a rock face?+
Yes. Drilling at height and rock face blasting are done by rope access or from platforms, often ahead of rock face stabilization.
