Dr. Calvin Konya expanded the company into the premier underwater blasting group in the world.

Dr. Anthony Konya took over the operations of Precision Blasting fully in 2019, expanding the company from consulting and research into engineering, design-build, and full drill and blast construction activities. This has expanded PBS to be the premier Drill and Blast company in the USA - providing drilling, blasting, and blast engineering services

Precision Blasting Services now looks to its next 50-years as the industry leader. The Explosive Engineers work throughout the world continuing to carry the message of our founder, to complete best technical blasting possible - to the rest of the world.

‘Explosives have been the backbone of construction and mining for centuries, and the innovation and technical expertise required to harness their power safely and efficiently are as crucial today as they have ever been. At the heart of our work in the blasting industry is a deep understanding of the energy and use of these materials, and a commitment to harnessing that energy in service of progress and innovation. Our work is not just about breaking rocks or leveling mountains; it is about unlocking the potential of the earth and transforming it into something greater than it was before. It is about building a better world, one blast at a time.’
