Drilling and blasting on the Fleurieu Peninsula is not simply about breaking rock.
It is about removing difficult material in a way that suits the excavation, surrounding assets and what the client needs to do next.
On a quarry project, the priority may be consistent fragmentation, controlled floor levels, reduced oversize and material that can be efficiently excavated and processed.
On a road cutting or subdivision, the priority may be maintaining the design profile, limiting overbreak, controlling the final batter and getting the excavation ready for drainage, pavements, retaining works or services.
On a winery, industrial or development site, the drilling may need to be carried out close to buildings, tanks, underground services, roads, occupied properties or operating facilities.
The correct drilling or rock-removal method depends on the ground, excavation geometry, distance to surrounding assets, access, required final profile and what needs to happen once the material has been broken.
