From PT Bangun Ibu Pertiwi — a licensed drilling & blasting contractor that manufactures O₂ Rock Splitter consumables locally in Indonesia, serving mining, quarrying, and construction.
PT BIP's newest product line — a non-explosive alternative that harnesses the expansion of liquid oxygen (LOX) inside the borehole. It complements, rather than replaces, our conventional blasting services.

O₂ Rock Splitter fits rock-breaking projects that need a safer, more efficient, and more controlled method.
Every application still needs to be reviewed based on the rock type, work volume, site access, drilling pattern, and field conditions.
O₂ Rock Splitter is a rock-breaking solution that harnesses the expansion energy of oxygen to split rock from inside the borehole. The technology is designed to support rock-breaking work in mining, quarrying, construction, and infrastructure areas that call for a more controlled method.
O₂ Rock Splitter suits rock-breaking work across mining, quarrying, construction, and infrastructure projects, as well as sites that need better control over vibration, fly-rock, noise, and impact on the surrounding environment.
Not always. O₂ Rock Splitter can serve as an alternative to, or a complement for, existing rock-breaking methods. The best choice still depends on the rock type, project location, work volume, production targets, regulations, and on-site technical conditions.
Its main advantages are more controlled rock breaking, minimal fly-rock, lower vibration in suitable applications, and the potential to improve work efficiency in areas sensitive to blasting impact.
In certain conditions, O₂ Rock Splitter can be a solution for areas that need better control over vibration, fly-rock, and impact on the surrounding environment. Feasibility, however, still needs to be reviewed based on a site survey, rock characteristics, safe distances, and local technical and regulatory requirements.
O₂ Rock Splitter can be used on the various rock types commonly found in quarries, mines, and construction projects. To confirm suitability, BIP’s technical team reviews the rock type, hardness, fracture structure, water conditions, and the desired fragmentation target.
Yes. A site survey is strongly recommended so the technical team can assess rock characteristics, equipment access, drilling patterns, volume estimates, potential risks, and the most suitable application method. It also helps produce a more accurate cost estimate and work plan.
The estimated cost depends on the rock type, work volume, project location, field access, borehole depth and diameter, application pattern, labour requirements, and the chosen partnership model. A final estimate is provided after a technical evaluation or site survey.
