Service 02
Telecom and transmission towers are often placed on hilltops and slopes where the footing has to be cut into hard rock. We excavate these foundation pits with small, controlled blasts so the surrounding ground, roads and houses are protected.
We work alongside the excavator and dewatering teams on site, so the pit is broken, cleared and kept dry ready for concreting.
Applications
Our method
Our engineer inspects the rock, nearby structures, utilities, access and drainage, and records what must be protected.
A written blast design is prepared for the site and checked against the protection needs found in the survey.
The design is signed off, required permits are confirmed and the police and neighbours are informed before work starts.
Holes are drilled, measured and logged against the design. Any change is recorded before charging.
Explosives are issued from licensed stock, recorded and loaded by licensed staff only. Mats are placed where required.
The exclusion zone is cleared, sentries are posted, warnings are sounded and the licensed shot-firer fires from a safe position.
The area is checked for misfires before the all-clear. Results and monitoring readings are recorded and shared with the client.
