OUR HISTORY
Ed's Engineering & Drilling Co. began in Washington, MO in 1962, later to become as Ed's Drilling & Blasting Co. Rock drilling and blasting was then underway with the use of hand-held jackhammers and ANFO.
​
Through the years, Ed's Drilling & Blasting continued to grow around the Washington, MO and greater St. Louis areas. The company was not the only thing to progress as the jackhammers eventually turned to air-track drills before becoming the cab drills we use today.
​
In 2021, the company took a huge step forward with the acquisition of Pexco Drilling & Blasting out of Lenexa, KS. Out of the acquisition, the current EDS brand was born incorporating both Ed's Drilling & Blasting Co. and newly-named Explosives & Drilling Services LLC.
​
With a rich history behind it, EDS is dedicated to continue being a premier drilling & blasting contractor.
