Location: Crystal Creek Drive

Service: Precision Foundation Boulder Splitting

Duration: 2 Hours

An unexpected boulder in a foundation trench can bring a multi-stage construction project to a grinding halt. On Crystal Creek Drive, we were called in to handle a massive rock obstruction that was blocking the footings. Our team provided a fast-response solution to ensure the project stayed on its strict timeline.

The Challenge
The boulder was situated in a sensitive area of the foundation footprint. The site required a solution that was powerful enough to break the rock but gentle enough to avoid shaking the surrounding excavation or disturbing the neighbors.

The Solution: The 2-Person “Drill & Split”
We deployed a 2-person specialist crew to manage the site. This two-man team approach allows us to work simultaneously—one operator prepping the next drill site while the other manages the splitting—cutting the completion time in half.

Strategic Drilling: Our crew used high-speed rock drills to create a series of pilot holes, mapping out the most efficient fracture points.

Pneumatic Splitting: Using our pneumatic splitter, the team applied controlled pressure to snap the boulder into fragments.

Rapid Cleanup: Because we broke the rock into specific, manageable sizes, the site crew was able to clear the debris immediately after we finished.
