Providing American Jobs and Safe Working Conditions for Five Decades
At RAISEBOR, our employee’s safety is the main emphasis of our company culture.
Established for five decades as a cornerstone of America’s robust mining and drilling industry, RAISEBOR is committed to providing American jobs with safe working conditions.
Recently, we have received the prestigious Joseph A. Holmes Safety Award, which recognizes our excellence in mine safety.
Time and time again, RAISEBOR is recognized as a leading entity for introducing safe yet progressive solutions in challenging terrains. Our priority lies in crafting a secure environment for all our workers, taking necessary precautions, and implementing rigorous safety measures that exceed standard industry practices.
Our lost time accident rate is one of the lowest in the entire industry. With a focus on continuous improvement and zero injuries, our commitment to drilling safely also extends to subcontractors and suppliers. They must also follow our project safety guidelines, which include a comprehensive substance abuse program. Our safety officer has over 30 years of industry experience, and he collaborates with MSHA, OSHA, our insurers and employees.
Providing safe working conditions for American workers will continue to be at the forefront of RAISEBOR’s mission.
The Past 50 Years at Raisebor
Established in 1973, RAISEBOR started with a single Robbins 41R rig. Over the decades, we have built up our robust arsenal of raiseboring equipment, from high-pressure air compressors to rig-up trucks.
In the past half a century, we have demonstrated our drilling experience, conquering an array of mining construction projects, including 6’ diameter raises down to 2,250 feet, 9’ diameter holes reaching 1,800 feet, and 12’ diameter excavations plunging to 1,250 feet.
Our ventures include 16.5’ diameter explorations to depths of 1,540 feet and bold 20’ diameter endeavors reaching an impressive 2,000 feet. Over the years, our raiseboring company has completed countless dip angle raises. We’re also proud to specialize in providing and installing steel casing & liner.
