Can you tell that the previous owners of your house tried to build the deck instead of letting a professional handle it? If you’ve decided it’s going to be easier to start from scratch than to repair their handiwork, we can demolish and haul away that unstable decking.
In rock blasting, presplitting is a method often used to effectively control the final appearance of steep slopes. This approach will result in a clean sheared space. If not used, a steep face can end up enduring overbreakage and will be rough and irregular as a result.
We recognize that buildings aren’t the only structures that may require a professional demolition team. When you need to return a parcel of property to its virgin state, a demolition team may be able to assist with the removal of paths and driveways.
Blasting contractors like cushion blasting because of the final result, which is most often a smooth wall with minimal overbreak. This is made possible because the trim holes are fired with little to no delay between them, with the resulting detonation sheering the rock web between the holes.
Have you recently discovered that a parcel of land you inherited isn’t as construction-ready as you’d hoped it would be? Let’s talk about the condition of the structures on the property, and whether demolition is more cost-effective than renovation is.
Since reinforced concrete is tough, it brings its own set of challenges when it comes to drilling and blasting. However, our trained personnel and specialized equipment are capable of handling even the toughest jobs.
In the early 1960s, structural demolition, except in a few instances, was mostly industrial. However, over the next several decades, the practice spread to other applications, including urban demolition.
Blasting contractors take care to ensure that their explosives are judiciously stored away before use, as an explosive’s shelf life is primarily affected by the climate the explosive is kept in.
One of the downfalls with purchasing an existing home instead of new construction is that there may be elements that keep it from being your perfect dream home. Whether you need to get rid of an old shed, garage or chimney, we can help.
Smooth blasting, also called contour or perimeter blasting, is typically used by blasting contractors for underground work. Drill holes are closely spaced together and fired at the same time to create the desired excavation contour.
If you need the interior of a building gutted, we will dispose of the waste products as you request. If there are usable appliances and fixtures available, we can deliver them to the charitable organizations you designate.
There are many different factors that help determine the amount and intensity of ground vibrations released from blasting. This includes such things as geology, type of explosive being used, and the placement of the boreholes.
An important part of demolition services is not just the demolishing portion of the job – but the disposal too. Professional demolition services ensure that all materials – including hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint – are disposed of properly.
Shock energy and heave energy are the two main ways that an explosive gives off energy. The shock wave output by an explosive is called shock energy, while heave energy is the effect expanding gasses have upon fractured rock.
Although building a swimming pool can provide you and your family with countless hours of summertime enjoyment, it can turn into a money pit once it falls into disrepair. If you’d like to get rid of your existing pool so you can install a new one, we’re here to help.
Hiring a blasting contractor for your next foundation blasting job is the best way to go if you want to stay in compliance in terms of building codes. When you hire a professional blasting contractor, you never have to worry about obtaining blasting work permits.
If you are planning a renovation to your home, we can help with preparing the house. The removal of walls, wiring, and fixtures should all be done with an eye towards recycling as much of the material as possible. We carefully take apart the section of the building being renovated and send waste materials to the proper facility.

It’s important to remember that a professional demolition team can knock down and haul away a building much faster than a regular construction crew can. When you need to have a site cleared quickly so that you can begin a new project, you may wish to work with a demolition specialist.
Contour blasting is used by blasting contractors who want to achieve the ideal blast for minimal host rock damage. Contour blasting is also a way to promote safety and efficiency in underground work like head blasting, drivages, and tunnel work.
Although you may be the type who loves to tackle all the projects that pop up inside and outside your home, building and structure demolitions can be dangerous when not handled properly. Let’s talk about how we can help you to remove an unsightly structure on your property without putting your safety at risk.
Delay blasting has several advantages. It can reduce over-break and fly-rock, as well as ground vibrations and air blast. This technique also improves productivity and lowers costs.
While the idea of a fixer-upper may pose an interesting challenge, sometimes a building is beyond saving. At that point, it is best to cut your losses, have a demolition crew come in and tear it down, and rebuild.
Many variables are considered in blast design (by the contractor) to minimize such issues as excessive vibration, airblast, and fly-rock. These include such factors as burden, stemming, subdrill, borehole spacing, and timing/delay.
