Blasting Stone

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
If you have stone ledges on your building site, you will need to hire a licensed blasting contractor before you dig a foundation hole. The first step is to drill holes for the charges. The charges are dropped in and covered with pea stone. Electric wires connect them to the detonator. Once everyone is a safe distance away the charges are detonated.
