Tower Foundations
Excavation, drilling and blasting for high tension transmission tower foundations along the Ukuwela to Kiribathkumbura line.
Tower footings on the line sit on hard rock in hilly ground, often close to roads, homes and cultivated land, with limited access for plant.
Each foundation pit was opened with small, measured charges under a licensed shot-firer, with blast mats over the pit and a cordoned exclusion zone. Our crews worked alongside the excavator and dewatering teams so pits were broken, cleared and kept dry.
Foundation pits handed over trimmed to design level and ready for the concreting crew.
