for Rock Removal
Many road and driveway projects run into the same challenge—rock that must be broken up before construction can begin. Our crew drills into the rock and uses carefully planned charges to break it into manageable pieces. This process creates a clear and stable path so construction crews can build without delay.
On certain jobs, we may also use non-explosive rock breaking methods. These are useful in residential areas or places where blasting is not allowed. In these cases, we apply expanding materials into drilled holes, which slowly break the rock apart without vibration or noise.
How It Works
Our process begins with a site visit. We look at the terrain, check for nearby structures, and review the type of rock involved. After that, we create a drilling plan that matches the needs of the job. For roads and driveways, we often use a method called controlled blasting. This approach breaks the rock while limiting movement beyond the intended area.
In some larger road jobs, we also use a technique called pre-splitting. This involves drilling a line of holes that guide the break and leave a clean, stable edge. This is especially helpful when a road is being built into a slope or hillside. The clean edge helps prevent rock from shifting later.
Safe and ON
Schedule
Safety is always our top priority. Our team follows strict safety procedures and uses tested blasting methods to protect nearby people, structures, and equipment. We arrive on time and complete the work with as little disruption as possible, allowing road and driveway construction to stay on schedule.
Our experience includes everything from small gravel driveway sites to major public road expansions. We work with homeowners, builders, contractors, and public agencies to move each project forward with confidence.
