Another small residential subdivision where the works came to a stand still because of huge and immovable hard Granite rock. Enter Demolition Dave with a can do attitude and a little Red box full of the right stuff to turn that huge rock into little pieces. Here at Demolition Dave we have completed hundreds of blasting jobs similar to this in residential areas over the last 30 years. Please look us up next time hard rock stops you in your tracks, your one stop solution for rock blasting, breaking with chemical cracking agents and hydraulic wedge splitting. "Safe and effective" yeah, that should work with the algorithm for a little while longer... but not much longer.

I really liked the educational part on the "seam" rock geology, its effects on blasting plan, and your thought process on working out a solution. Also digging around the rock to limit vibration. Thanks Dave!

Happy new year, Dave. Oh no, hit with the poop stick on another job 😮 That looked like such a solid piece of rock too. Oh well, X-ray eyes are hard to come by! Thanks for another great video.

@davidholder3207 7 месяцев назад

Hell of deep hole. Must be the area in the new property where the kitchen sink is going. Any reason you didn't use the expansive cracking agent in breaking up this bolder Dave when you discovered the fault zones.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 7 месяцев назад

Please post some video of your work. Do you use black powder?

@GroberWeisenstein 7 месяцев назад

@demolitiondavedrillandblast for beds and downhole channeling I use black powder loads with primaflex tied together with b-line. Blk powder gives the 'push' i need to move larger sections up to 2000 tons away from the main bedrock shelves. I'll sometimes use primacord to fast split drilled blocks that contain too many seams. Forcite is my goto for demo/rubble. No caps, all electrical detonation.

@TalRohan 7 месяцев назад

Its not the kind of thing that most would consider precision engineering but there is a real science and art to what you do. A lot of experience and knowledge goes into blasting. Question have you always been a self employed boom boom or have you done mining work and the like? I reckon it would be really exciting if you didnt cover it ...the potential mess would be humongous thanks for sharing

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 7 месяцев назад

Yes, there is a bit of art also involved, not always self employed, previously worked as specialist in radio comms. Plenty of uncovered shots on this channel, have a look through the road construction play list.

@eddielittleii8919 7 месяцев назад

I wonder if when you run into a large horizontal void like that you could drill the hole and put cracking goo down in the first layer up past the void and then blast the top part 24 hours later to keep from loosing blast pressure?

@insAneTunA 7 месяцев назад

There is a farmer in North Queensland, called the Queensland farmer here on YT, and he can use some truckloads of rocks for his spillways for his dams. If he has to buy rocks it costs him a lot of money. So if you are ever in that area and need to dump some rocks you can contact him. Or you might know some people who can help him out with a few truckloads of rocks. If you know some people who could help him let me know so that I can tell him about that.

@alexandermarken7639 7 месяцев назад

I know the basics of how hard the different rocks are from firt year uni geology and have known a few people who did demolitions in earthworks. What I am very unsure of is how hard it is to cut vs drill and demolish. What I am curious on is could a house site on a hill side be done with the rock being featured as the walls. would explosives allow enough control to preserve rock integrity or is it likely to fracture the walls in weird ways.

Hey Dave, Another great video, Thanks for sharing. That friend of mine I told you about with the Tornado Damage lives in Jimboomba. They got there power back after 9 days. Cara told me that there are folks still without power. Possibly up to amonth for some. Something I have noticed too, Is that you are picking up all of your Blasting wires now, Is this just what you are doing or is this a new rule from the goverment ? Again Dave thanks for the video.

@markmayer2029 7 месяцев назад

Not really a requirement, it just keeps you from having to answer a lot of questions later from concerned citizens, or the Police, or some other public safety sector. Also just plain good housekeeping.

@demolitiondavedrillandblast 7 месяцев назад

I take a great deal of care Rich. That said, the dogs are very good and would probably ping me. The dogs indicated on one of my workers at LA airport a few years ago, they went right over him and found nothing, he explained the he worked with the stuff but did not have a license to show, they held him for 9 hours until it could be confirmed with Australian authorities
