Blasting & Excavating, better known and recognised throughout the industry as B&E, has been providing drilling & blasting, and more recently load and haul, and crushing  services, to the construction, quarrying, civil engineering and mining industry since its establishment in 1972.


B&E operates through registered entities in all major Southern African countries, and beyond, including in recent years destinations such as Uganda, Zambia, Mauritius and Madagascar.


It is B&E's understanding of the importance of their clients, and the strategy of providing a superior, reliable and cost effective service combined with latest technologies that has made it the leading drill and blast specialist contractor in the region.


B&E proudly became part of the Basil Read Group in 2007.
