Drilling, Blasting & Predrilling Services
ARI provides professional drilling and blasting services, supported by StrataIQ™ technology, including:
Production drilling
Blast hole drilling
Solar and renewable energy predrilling
Drilling to support pile installation and foundation systems
StrataIQ™ ensures field execution is informed by measured ground conditions, historical performance, and predictive analysis, reducing uncertainty and downstream risk.
Solar Predrilling & Pile Performance Support
For solar and renewable energy projects, StrataIQ™ supports clients facing:
Pile refusal
Variable embedment
Failure to meet pile pull or load testing requirements
Using predrilling data, AI-enabled analysis, and engineering judgment, we help clients:
Identify refusal-prone zones prior to pile installation
Optimize predrill depth, diameter, and spacing
Improve pile installation success rates and testing outcomes
Reduce redesign, rework, and schedule delays
Blasting Near Green Concrete & Sensitive Structures
StrataIQ™ supports data center and mission-critical infrastructure projects where blasting occurs near:
Green or early-age concrete
Active structural pours
Sensitive foundations and adjacent facilities
Our platform and services help clients:
Analyze vibration and timing risks relative to concrete cure state
Evaluate blast design alternatives using historical and predictive data
Document decision-making for owner, engineer, and regulatory review
Mitigate risk to structural integrity, schedule, and downstream liability
This capability is particularly valuable on fast-track data center projects, where tolerance for uncertainty is low and documentation is essential.
Strategic Consulting & Advisory Services
StrataIQ™ is supported by in-house mining engineering and legal expertise, enabling clients to take both:
An immediate operational view, and
A long-term, perpetual resource and risk perspective
We assist clients with:
Resource and constructability planning
Vibration and blast impact analysis
Regulatory and permitting strategy
Community and environmental impact mitigation
Technical documentation for disputes, arbitration, and litigation
Purpose-Driven by Design
At ARI, we exist to shape the future® of drilling, blasting, and resource development by combining technology, experience, and accountability.
StrataIQ™ reflects this purpose in practice—helping clients make decisions that perform today while standing up over the full life of their projects, resources, and communities.
