Further insights

What is Total Load Services (TLS)? Total Load Services is Orica’s end‑to‑end charge‑and‑shoot service that delivers consistent loading quality, improved blasting efficiency, and reduced operational risk. It combines specialised equipment, skilled personnel, and integrated digital tools to help sites achieve reliable, repeatable blast outcomes.

Who is TLS designed for? TLS is ideal for mining operations seeking consistent blast performance without needing to manage on‑bench loading equipment, blast crew resourcing, or maintenance. It suits both large‑scale and remote operations requiring predictable service delivery.

What are the key benefits of TLS?

  • Reliable, repeatable blast loading
  • Reduced exposure of site personnel to hazardous environments
  • Improved productivity through streamlined blasting operations
  • Access to Orica’s expertise, technology, and fleet of purpose‑built Mobile Manufacturing Units (MMUs)
  • Integration with digital blasting systems such as BlastIQ™

Does TLS include equipment and personnel? Yes. TLS provides Orica‑supplied and maintained equipment, trained operators, and standardised operating procedures to ensure high‑quality, efficient loading.

Can TLS integrate with my current blasting technology? Absolutely. TLS is designed to work seamlessly with Orica’s digital technologies, including BlastIQ™, allowing precise loading control and better blast performance insights.

Is TLS customisable to my site’s needs? Yes. Orica tailors TLS to each operation’s blasting requirements, mine plan, and productivity targets. This ensures clients receive the right mix of technology, service level, and delivery model.

How does TLS improve safety? TLS minimises on‑bench exposure for mine personnel, uses well‑maintained Orica equipment, and applies consistent, controlled loading practices. This helps reduce risk and supports compliance with safety standards.


How do I know if TLS is right for my site? TLS is best suited to operations wanting improved blasting consistency, reduced equipment ownership burden, and enhanced integration between digital design and loading execution. Orica can conduct an assessment to determine the optimal service model for your operation.
