Drilling and Blasting
Aggregate quarries often require comprehensive mine development and site preparation, including careful drilling and blasting techniques. Projects may involve creating road cuts and utility trenches, while ensuring effective rockfall mitigation strategies are in place. For power line foundations and home & building foundations, rock removal is essential, often complemented by shoring to provide stability. Additionally, boulder removal and non-explosive rock removal techniques can be utilized to enhance site readiness.
Rockfall Mitigation
Draped mesh and debris barriers are essential components in rockfall mitigation strategies, designed to prevent rock removal from dangerous areas. Rockfall fences and rock bolts work in conjunction with drilling and blasting techniques to secure unstable terrain. Rock anchors provide additional support, while pinned mesh can effectively assist in rock scaling efforts. For avalanche mitigation, helicopter access is crucial, allowing for timely interventions and shoring up vulnerable spots.
Geo-Stabilization
Soil Nails for stabilization, Ground Anchors for secure anchoring, Soldier Pile & Lagging for effective shoring, Shotcrete for surface protection, Micropiles for deep foundation support, Driven Piles for quick installation, and Caissons for robust load-bearing structures are critical components in construction. Additionally, Erosion Control Systems are essential for preventing soil loss, while techniques like Blasting and Drilling are often employed for Rock Removal and Rockfall Mitigation.
