That job was a tough one Dave. You played just about every card in your hand apart from your own drill rig. Explosives, Expando goo, the crowbar and the plugs and feathers, all got a good workout on this job site.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

Yeah, I nearly took the little drill but it would have been a bit hard to get past the first bunch of rocks as it is not very maneuverable when it has the drill mast fitted instead of an excavator bucket.

Nice job,👍👌. Wish I had you around this summer. No blaster around here wanted to deal with my rocky hilside behind the house and workshop. 3.5m wide and 45m long track. No explosives, as both buildings are on the same hilside rock and i had to remove uphill. Lets just say that 80 kilos of expanding agent and countless holes removed around 75 cubic meters of nice chunky rock and it was satisfying to do it myself.

At the risk of johnny come very lately….first off this is really hard physical work…I am in central Florida and if digging can be fun it is a breeze in our dirt. In these areas you are working on I am assuming that the cost of the building site would reflect the obvious costs in making it suitable for building. I am 70 with 14 rental houses and I do it all…I enjoy watching what other people do who actually work for a living..Anyway this is a first for me and I appreciate your excellent camera and editing work…also the excavator operator on this job was a thing of beauty

Every time the quarry near my house blasts the slab floor thumps , the dog is startled and sometimes it even catches me off guard. Thankfully it’s usually mid morning but they are too far away to hear the warning siren. It’s only once or twice a week and the quarry was there before they built the neighborhood. The whole metro Atlanta area sits on the granite that outcrops at Stone Mountain.

@ChrisB257 3 года назад

A Dave demolition derby - some crazy size bad tempered rocks. Must have killed a few drill bits - some pretty deep holes too.! As usual I think of your poor old back. Cracking goo is great - super results - cost effective hopefully. Lockdown must have been hellish. That tall block looked like a massive tooth in profile - and a climb to drill it.! More satisfying slo-mo. That final plugs'n'feathers was a real devil. Great work Dave - more to add to your already extensive video diary.

@ke6gwf 3 года назад

The sequential reuse of the cover, and using the rock as the cover base was poetry in destructive dirt! How much does the expanding goo cost compared to expanding high explosives for a comparable size rock? Like other than having to wait, and it not getting the fragmentation and movement that explosives get, what are the downsides? Oh, I suppose that you would need to drill more holes, thus higher labor costs... And it's not NEARLY as satisfying lol

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

the goo cost more because of the extra drilling ben, and the holes need to be 1 1/2 blast holes can be 1 1/4

@billdoodson4232 Год назад

Having watched a good number of these videos now I can see a common theme running through all of them. The groundsworks contractors all seem to put the smallest excavator on site that they think they can get away with. I'm sure that if they went up to the biggest machine that could operate on site the breaking out of the broken rock and clearance would be a lot easier and faster.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast Год назад

Often the case Bill, what really gets me angry is when I go to look at a job that has stalled due to the rock and there is a big machine sitting there... but when I come back to do the job they have taken it and brought back a smaller one.

Every day all we hear is the never ending constant racket of the multiple rock breaker excavators doing their tappy tap tap tapping away all frick'n day long.... The problem is the sound permeates up through the multi-story building we're in on account its probably sitting on the same base rock 'slab''.. i wish they'd just drill the stuff & blast it out in layers (whatever) to the huge depth they need to go & be done with it.... We've already had 6 months of the tappy tap just knocking down the buildings that were there. You'd think they go for the most high tech high cost method on account there's a bottom less source of funding to pay for it all, but what would i know. i'm no civil engineer.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

Hi Paul, on this job the blast holes were all 35mm and the holes for the cracking agent were 38mm, when I drilled the deep 1.8m holes I used three rods, 600, 1200, 1800mm, They all had 38mm knock on drill heads.. however, as these drill heads wear the not only get face wear on the buttons but also gauge wear (diameter decreases), so a lot of care has to be taken when selecting a series of drills so the the short one does not have more gauge wear that a longer one or the longer one will not follow as the hole is just a tiny bit too small.

Welcome Ken, Once upon a time we used blast mats on every job, I prefer to cover with soil now because I don't have to truck a few tonne of blast mats to the site and spend my weekends fixing them, dirt kills the noise really well and hence no complaints, mat lets most of the noise through. This guy used the rock on site.

Infront the hardest rocks, we always need the hardest explosives, the expansive cement won't service ...

I know this has been probably asked before, but how do you conclude the necessary depth to drill?

Nice! Though I reckon it's just about time you ground that hammer and those plugs a bit so you don't risk iron splinters.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

Got a new hammer yesterday David.

So what did you think of the test drill your supplier sent out with you? Glad to see you using a jack leg, better for your back. Nicely done mate.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

The Puma drill was a shocker to use, short stroke high frequency drill was a very high operator fatigue unit.

@@demolitiondavedrillandblast That would either shorten your day and production or shorten your life. LOL

@paulharvey1947 Год назад

That 'operator' needs a lot more practice using that claw/finger. They are flinging it around like they have no clue how the toggles function

@brucebaxter6923 3 года назад

How high a pressure water blaster do you need to cut/open cracks in rock? Is it ever effective?

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

If it was effective it would be used in quarries and mines everywhere, can cut concrete though. Another thing to think about is the it would also cut people in half in a blink.

@brucebaxter6923 3 года назад

@@demolitiondavedrillandblast It certainly would cut people up. I was thinking that it would erode sandstone back to sand and that is no use in quarries where they want the rock.

Probably not Andrew as when things are not going to plan I really don't have any time to make video.

Question: with the cracking goo why does it not expand out up thru the the top holes ? If it meets resistance when it expands how come it expands side ways? Amazing stuff !

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

it goes hard in the hole before it starts working.

@shaenj 3 года назад

Well, that was fun. Is clearing the broken rocks off the site part of your job? Or you just get the site down to a particular height? I have done a lots of earthwork but never had a chance to work as your offsider does....and that's a shame.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 3 года назад

I just have to get the rocks down to level. Rick gets rid of the rocks.
