Taking care of business!💥Drilling and blasting is the most efficient, cost-effective method for removing rock for trenches and utilities. People ask why don’t we just hammer the rock out? Because blasting can actually be quieter than rock hammering, and takes much less time. A typical blast duration is typically 1 to 3 seconds, while rock hammering can take over two weeks to displace the same amount of volume incurred by a single blast.
