Overview
Construction, contracting and building is hard work and sometimes requires rock clearing experts. When building highways, rocks must be dislodged. In many parts of the West, utilities such as water or gas pipelines require the excavation of rock which lie just below the surface of the ground. At California Drilling and Blasting, we provide the expert blasting services to help your construction succeed.
Objectives
The object of nearly all blasting operations is to break the rock sufficiently so that it can be removed. While it is physically possible to break rock using equipment such as rock saws and jackhammers, such methods are impractical, time-consuming, and expensive when dealing with significant amounts of rock. California Drilling and Blasting provides expertise in controlled blasting operations that make construction demolition safe and timely, even in the closest quarters.
Hazards Occupational
As with all hazardous occupations, knowledge, prevention and safe handling are the best ways to stay safe. Each of our blasters at California Drilling & Blasting, Inc. are trained individuals who are licensed to use explosives and are knowledgeable about the safe handling of explosives. In addition, governmental agencies closely regulate the industry to keep our employees safe.
Noise & Vibration
The noise and vibrations transmitted through the ground are often an annoyance to the people living and working near a blasting operation. Each of our licensed blasters carefully calculates and places explosives to control the adverse effects of blasting and minimize noise and vibrations caused by escaped energy from the blasting process.
Densely Populated Areas
Several precautions are taken when we plan excavation projects in areas close to population, buildings, and infrastructure. Before work commences, blasting specialists manage vibration control, design the drill patterns, and thoroughly survey adjacent structures. Keeping roads and buildings intact with minimal annoyance to the people that live and work nearby is one of our utmost priorities at California Drilling and Blasting.
