Our Story

Cragline Drilling & Blasting was founded in 2019 by Clayton Christiansen, bringing his decades of industry expertise to establish a company built on technical excellence and traditional values. While Cragline may be relatively new as a company, our foundation rests on decades of hands-on experience in the drilling and blasting field across the Western United States. Clayton's vision was to create a company that combines advanced blasting techniques with old-fashioned business principles that seem increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world.

Our Team

At Cragline Drilling & Blasting, our dedicated team is our greatest strength. Led by exceptional leadership from top to bottom, our crew combines decades of collective experience with rigorous training in Cragline's exacting standards. Each team member undergoes comprehensive safety and technical training, ensuring consistent quality across all projects. Our streamlined organizational structure allows for direct leadership involvement, efficient decision-making, and personalized attention on every job, delivering the precision and reliability our clients have come to expect.

Our Values

At Cragline, we believe in doing business the American-made, old-school way. This means looking someone in the eye, meeting in person, shaking hands, and following through on what was discussed. Our commitment to excellence isn't just about the technical precision of our work—it extends to how we treat every client, partner, and community member. We believe in fair treatment, honest communication, and building relationships that last. While technology and techniques evolve, our traditional business values remain unchanged. We prioritize face-to-face communication and personalized attention for every project, striving to build lasting partnerships through exceptional service and straightforward dealings.

Community Commitment

Our commitment extends beyond our daily operations through our dedicated support of the Utah Charitable Trust Fund, which benefits National Guard families in our state. We're proud to contribute annually to this important cause, with increasing participation each year. What began as a $2,500 contribution in 2022 grew to $5,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. Our goal is to reach $20,000 in the coming year, reflecting our growing commitment to supporting the families of those who serve. We believe that successful businesses have a responsibility to strengthen the communities where they operate, and we're honored to play our part in supporting military families.
