By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

On March 3, 1966, Ted Purington Sr.and his wife Judy borrowed $2,000 withthree co-signors to form Maine Drilling& Blasting (MD&B). “Operation cen-tral” was located around their kitchentable in Gardiner, Maine. From thekitchen, the business grew into the barnand then into a secondary tin building atthe family home. In 45 years the busi-ness grew from a small kitchen tableinvestment to successfully and safelyperforming more than 1.5 million blasts.The Company began with a single

jackhammer for a drill. In the early daysTed, Judy and a few close friends shoul-dered most of the responsibilities. Judysacrificed her career as an RN to becomethe office manager while also raisingfive children. Ted Jr., Bill, Jim and Tomeventually became involved in MD&Bin different capacities.Quickly, Ted established a reputation

for exceptional quality and as Ted’s rela-tionships with area contractors grew, sodid MD&B. Hard work, honesty andquality of services were the bedrockupon which the Company was founded.In the very beginning MD&B served theconstruction market working on every-thing from house foundations to roads

and bridges. In the late 70s and early80s interstate highway and municipalsewer projects provided numerous out-of-state opportunities. The Companyhas expanded throughout NewEngland, the Northeast, intoPennsylvania and all the way down toVirginia. “We’ve always worked to grow

regional markets with local people,”explained CEO and President BillPurington, “that means local employ-ees and resources for supply and distri-bution. We’ve made it a point to com-mit to a local presence wherever we go.That’s how we started, that’s how weoperate today.” MD&B is the leading provider of

drilling, blasting and related specialtyservices in the United States. It is oneof the largest of its kind in NorthAmerica. With the controlled use ofexplosives, MD&B drills and blastsrock to fashion foundations for homes,business developments and bridges,carves out roadways, mines raw mate-rials for concrete and asphalt, divertsrivers and streams, prepares the earthfor the construction of hydroelectricprojects, pipelines and wind towers,creates the holes in which to set utilitypoles and even sculpts ski slopes.

A STRONGCO Company


Getting Growth RightThe company’s rapid expansion up until

the early 80s tested MD&B’s resources. Inresponse to the challenge, in March 1982,the last son to join the business, BillPurington, became general manager. Withhis brothers, Purington helped modify thebusiness plan and led a re-organization.In 1986 MD Drilling & Blasting was

founded as a subsidiary to serve the southernNew England market. By year-end in 1989,the Company had established seven operat-ing divisions and grown to fifteen milliondollars in annual sales. “Our goal was not to be the biggest

drilling and blasting company in NewEngland,” said Bill Purington, “rather ouractions were part of our long-term familybusiness plan to be the premier and mostrespected blasting contractor in theNortheast industry.” In 2011 MD&B celebrated its 45th year of

growth, coupled with safety and success, inthe drilling and blasting industry. TheCompany is proud to currently employapproximately 400 of the industry’s best.

Growing ServicesOver the past 46 years, MD&B has con-

tinued to provide an ever-widening varietyof services to their customers. In 2002, theyestablished an engineering department to

enhance technology for theirdrillers and blasters whilealso providing improvedproject quality and bettercustomer support. Electronic Detonator

Systems (EDS) deliver pre-cise timing down to one totwo millisecond intervals. In2003 MD&B deployed itsfirst regular use of EDS andis well positioned to evalu-ate, deploy and maximizeEDS over a wide range ofapplications. In 2004 MD&B became

the first contractor in thecountry to construct andope r a t e i t s own bu lk

MD&B from page 1

Photo courtesy of Maine Drilling & BlastingMD&B introduced electronic detonator technology in Brox Industries’ Dracut,Maine, quarry to provide advanced control for a blast that used 70,000 lbs. (31,751kg) of explosives in an area in which $20 million in immovable quarry structuresexisted within a 225-ft. (69 m) radius of the blast. Post blast, there were just under130,000 tons (117,934 t) on the ground, almost 100 percent crushable, with no dam-age to any structures and no complaints from area residents.

(91 cm)gas line installed by Precision Pipeline with MD&Bperforming all blasting for the right of way andtrench. Production was achieved despite the ruggedterrain just below the Catskill Area in New York state. see MD&B page 9

explosives blending andloading plant. Pumpingbulk emulsion instead ofloading sticks or haulingtube reduces manpowerand related loadinginjuries. Shot patterns canbe expanded and holesizes can be reduced,which increases drill uti-lization. The use of bulkallows for a more efficientshot. MD&B has sincecontinued to develop itsin-house program toadvance bulk throughoutquarry and construction applications toproduce further productivity gains.

MD&B also has engineered propri-etary distribution solutions, such as itsBulkSkid and Micropumper. TheMicropumper is a mini-bulk systemlocated on a trailer package that ishauled by the blaster with his truckenabling bulk deliveries for smallerconstruction projects. This smallercapacity pump improves efficiencies,increases the ability to utilize bulk andprovides greater economic value to

customers. The BulkSkid, which ispulled by a large dozer, allows bulk tobe deployed on large remote projectswithout road access.

Through its commitment to the ener-gy market, MD&B has furthered itsabilities with Rock Bolt installationsand testing. Rock bolts can be a largeissue, most notably stabilizing founda-tions for wind towers and anchoringrock faces. Over the years, MD&B hascompleted many rock bolting, rockanchors and rock dowels for all types

of jobs. Most recently, the evolution of the

opportunities for MD&B to pursuelarger projects with high-productiondemands and schedules, bringing theCompany into the national arena. Asdevelopment in the Marcellus naturalgas field accelerated in 2010 and2011, so did MD&B’s activity in thearea. During 2011, its Mid-AtlanticConstruction Division safely com-pleted fifteen projects for some of theregion’s leading natural gas develop-ers. MD&B has impacted the con-struction success of a number of windtower projects throughout the Northeastworking on approximately 96 percent of thecommercial wind energy projects in NewEngland.

Standing Apart Starts WithSafety

MD&B has always prided itself on reach-ing new and higher standards for safety. “It’sabout a safety culture,” said Senior VicePresident of Explosive Operations MitchGreen, “we make it our business to exceedindustry safety standards from pre-blast sur-veys to seismic monitoring, from job hazardanalysis to zero incident tolerance. Our suc-cess is directly related to our focus on safe-ty.” Employees are proud that MD&B cur-

rently exceeds all of the industry safety stan-dards. From the first step on site, and theirfirst day of new hire training, safety isinstilled in all employees. “We are committed to providing the

industry’s safest work environment,” saidSafety Manager Rick Galletta, “We haveworked hard to develop a strong SafetyCulture where our employees are empow-ered to address safety concerns as they arise.We believe that all incidents are preventableand that we can work with zero accidents.”

Driving Future SuccessMaine Drilling stands out because of three

primary reasons: “Number one is our team; we have the

best people in the industry. Number two isour ability to get the job done safely, meetdifficult schedules and deliver a qualitydrilling and blasting job for a competitiveprice in most any drilling and blasting appli-cation. Number three is the efficiencies ofservices that our departments are able to pro-vide to complement our drilling and blastingoperations,” noted Executive Vice President,Ted Purington Jr.Ted Sr. has formally retired, but still plays

an active, on-site role on select projects inMD&B’s Eastern Division. The twoyoungest sons, Jim and Tom Purington, haveleft the Company to develop their own busi-ness concerns. Will, third-generation son and

namesake of Bill Purington, works in theCompany as an Assistant ProjectSuperintendent, having started with MD&Bas a field laborer. However, there will be noPurington successor in the Company’s futureownership. Instead, Maine Drilling &Blasting is driving its success throughemployee ownership.“Our employees are the ones primarily

responsible for the success of Maine Drillingand Blasting… Creating an ESOP(Employee Stock Ownership Plan) [in 2004]was an important step to us all,” stated BillPurington. The ESOP, a qualified retirementplan, gives employees a meaningful stake inMD&B at no cost to them and those whomeet plan qualifications receive ownershipinterest in the Company. Ownership createsan even greater standard of service.Employees conduct themselves with a high-er standard of professionalism and proficien-cy, handling business situations with therespect, responsiveness and responsibility ofbusiness owners. “Working like an owner is a mind-set and

includes fully embracing both how you doyour job and how you think about your job,”said Bill Purington. Currently qualifiedemployees own 30.5 percent of MD&B.For the last four years MD&B has reor-

ganized, reshaped and redirected its effortsto continually manage a profitable outcomethrough the worst economic period since theGreat Depression. All of these efforts haveallowed the Company to persevere into its20th consecutive year of profitability. “Your reputation is only as good as the

quality of work you do,” said Green, “This isa hard-working industry… you constantlyhave to put in 100 percent.” MD&B’s culture is represented by its core

values: respect, fairness, honesty and respon-sibility. By setting expectations and groundrules that support these core values, MD&Breaffirms its foundations of “honesty andhard work,” guiding how employees con-duct themselves and their business.
