your questions
Is blasting always necessary to break rock?
No. Our high-performance hydraulic hammers sometimes make mechanical rock excavation safer and easier to coordinate than blasting.
Will the vibrations damage my neighbors' homes?
We prefer controlled-impact techniques and use seismic measuring equipment to ensure that vibrations remain well below risk thresholds.
Why is rock excavation billed by the hour or by volume?
Rock is not uniform: its density and hardness influence the speed of drilling. We offer an estimate based on drilling reports, and document every hour worked with transparency.
Why is precision so important in rock?
Any excess excavation requires costly concrete or backfill. Our expertise means you can stick precisely to your plans and avoid unnecessary expense.
What do you do with the rock debris after excavation?
We offer several solutions: transport to our disposal centers or crushing on site for reuse as backfill, which can generate significant savings.
