From open-pit copper mining at 4,500m altitude to urban tunnel boring beneath city centers — Epiroc drilling equipment operates across every geological condition and regulatory environment.
Blast-hole drilling for iron ore, copper, gold, and coal operations. Our EP-D65 and EP-D100 surface rigs deliver 89–254mm holes at production rates up to 150 metres per shift. SmartROC automation enables single-operator drilling across multiple blast patterns. Carrier machines rated for continuous 24/7 operation in abrasive rock at altitudes exceeding 4,000m.
Request Application StudyATEX-certified face drilling, longhole production, and rock bolting for sublevel stoping, cut-and-fill, and room-and-pillar methods. EP-U5 and EP-U7 rigs cover 43–127mm hole diameters with Zone 1 / Zone 2 certification per Directive 2014/34/EU. Electric-hydraulic power packs eliminate diesel emissions in ventilation-restricted headings.
Request Application StudyFoundation anchor drilling, tunnel face bolting, micropile installation, and slope stabilization. Compact carrier platforms navigate confined urban sites. Noise-attenuated configurations available for residential-adjacent worksites. CE-marked and compliant with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for European projects.
Request Application StudyPrecision bench drilling for dimension stone, limestone, and granite aggregate production. Top-hammer drilling ensures accurate hole alignment for optimized fragmentation and reduced secondary breakage. Drill-and-blast pattern optimization reduces explosive consumption by 10–15% versus conventional approaches.
Request Application StudyCore drilling rigs for mineral exploration, groundwater investigation, and geotechnical site assessment. EP-C50 series achieves 500m depth with NQ/HQ core recovery rates exceeding 95% in competent rock. All-terrain crawler undercarriage accesses remote sites without road infrastructure.
Request Application StudyHydraulic breakers from 500 J to 12,000 J impact energy for structural demolition, concrete removal, and rock splitting. Silent-mode configurations reduce noise below 85 dB(A) for inner-city projects. Dust suppression systems standard on all models above EP-HB2000 class.
