Applications of Blasting
Road construction
Blasting is often used in road construction, and it involves using explosives to break up the existing pavement so that it can be removed and replaced with new pavement. This process can be used to create new roads, widen existing roads, or repair existing roads.
Rock excavations
Blasting is one of the most common methods used to break rock in excavations. It is a safe and efficient way to break large rocks into smaller pieces that can be easily removed from the site. Blasting also creates a smooth surface ideal for driving vehicles or machinery over.
Hard rock excavation
Hard rock excavation involves the removal of large rocks, often weighing several tonnes, from the ground using various methods, including rock drilling, blasting, and excavating. The rocks are then transported to a location where they can be used for construction or other purposes.
Building demolition
The use of blasting explosives in building demolition is a common and effective way to demolish a structure. Many different types of explosives can be used, and the type of explosive used will depend on the size and type of structure being demolished. The most common type of explosive used in building demolition is dynamite.

If you're planning on excavating a swimming pool, there's a good chance you'll need to use blasting at some point.
