Utility Rock Removal
You Can Count On
Utility work often requires digging deep trenches. When rock is in the way, it must be broken apart before pipe installation can begin. We help contractors and municipalities complete this step quickly and safely. Whether it’s a small project for a private site or part of a large public system, we have the equipment and training to handle it.
We begin by reviewing the location and layout of the utility line. Then, we drill into the rock following a pattern that supports the planned trench. Depending on the situation, we may use controlled blasting or switch to non-explosive methods where blasting is restricted.
Safe, Controlled Blasting for Utility Work
Our team uses precise drilling and blasting techniques to limit impact to nearby utilities or buildings. We’re used to working in developed areas, where care and attention to detail matter most. Each blast is carefully planned based on depth, distance to structures, and the type of rock present.
In certain cases, we use non-explosive rock breaking agents. These expand after being placed in the drilled holes, splitting the rock over time. This method works well for sensitive areas where vibration must be kept to a minimum.
Here’s what you can expect when working with us:
- Clear communication about what’s involved and what to expect
- Safe methods that reduce risk to nearby pipes, foundations, or buildings
- On-time service that helps your utility work stay on schedule
