Our Services — 01

Contract Mining

At Hiram Construction, we provide comprehensive, end-to-end contract mining solutions custom-designed to suit each client's specific operational needs — from greenfield project development to full-scale production mining, ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable operations.

01

Drilling and Blasting

Precision drilling and controlled blasting are critical to effective resource extraction and pit development. Using advanced equipment and strict blast design protocols, we ensure optimal fragmentation for easier excavation and hauling, minimised ground vibration, air blast and fly-rock risk, full regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency through reduced energy use and improved downstream productivity. We manage every stage — planning, design, execution and performance analysis.

02

Load and Haul Operations

Efficient load and haul processes are the backbone of productive mining — matched fleets and optimised cycle times keep material moving from face to stockpile without bottlenecks.

03

Mine Development and Construction

Construction of mine access roads, ramps and haulage systems that keep a site accessible and productive as it grows and deepens.

04

Pit Dewatering

Design and installation of comprehensive dewatering systems, keeping working faces dry, safe and productive through all conditions.

05

Overburden Removal

High-volume earthmoving with specialised equipment, clearing the way to ore efficiently and safely.

06

Grade Control and Ore Management

In-pit sampling and analysis to guide selective mining, with real-time ore and waste differentiation that minimises dilution and protects value.
