The History of ARI

 

Our journey began over 45 years ago when Bob "BJ" Jeremiah envisioned a single provider of rock drilling, blasting, and crushing services – thus, "BJ Equipment Company" was born. Today, ARI proudly stands as a leader in the industry, with our roots still firmly grounded in Lane County, Oregon.

Driven by a passion for quality and innovation, ARI has expanded its horizons, delivering exceptional drilling and blasting work across 15 states: Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky, North Dakota, Texas and Ohio. As a family-owned and operated business, the Jeremiah family's commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction remains at the heart of everything we do.

ARI's portfolio of projects showcases our versatility and expertise in handling diverse challenges. From traditional hard rock drilling and blasting in expansive mines and quarries to cutting-edge services for Utility Scale Renewable projects, including solar panel pile pre-drilling and wind turbine foundation drilling and blasting, we have consistently pushed boundaries and delivered results beyond expectations.

Our capabilities span beyond the horizon, encompassing drilling and blasting for communication tower foundation construction, precision blasting for dam demolition and fish passages, utility trench blasting, and efficient portable rock crushing solutions. Our team's dedication to safety, quality, and customer-centric service ensures that every project is executed with utmost precision and care.

At ARI, we value safety above all else. Committed to adhering to MSHA Part 46 and MSHA Part 48 regulations, we maintain the highest standards in rock drilling, blasting, and crushing practices. This steadfast commitment to safety is reflected in our exceptional track record, which speaks volumes about our dedication to the well-being of our workforce and clients alike.
