How Can Drill and Blast Excavation Help Your Project?

Now that you know what companies use rock blasting for, what is it? Simply put, this type of excavation is mechanical demolition paired with the controlled use of explosives. It's an effective way to perform rock breaking, and you can then use your equipment to excavate them.

You'll need drilling equipment to start the process. This equipment includes an excavator tool that comes with a rock breaking tool attached to the drill. You can also use the drill attachment to cut holes directly into the rock that you want to break down and excavate. Your blasting contractors then fill these cut holes with explosives. They rig these explosives with a charge before detonating. The finished result is a clear area that's ready for your project to start.

Drilling and blasting are very common in quarrying, mining and civil engineering. However, it also has very useful applications in a broad range of construction sectors.
