Construction Blasting
Example of Construction blasting - 00:11 sec (720kb)
Explosives can be a very useful tool to lightly pre-condition and crack hard rock to assist mechanical excavation ground-engaging tools. It is not necessary to violently "blast" rock all over the place. Quality construction blast design and implementation can be done just a few metres from existing structures and services above and below ground. Vibrations, noise and disturbance can be calculated and minimised.
The benefits to a project manager or contractor are time savings, reduced period of disruption to localities and communities, and substantial cost savings due to greater productivity and utilisation of machinery.
