Location: Alexandra Street, Metro Vancouver

Service: Precision Boulder Splitting

Duration: 2 Hours

When a large boulder obstructs a residential or commercial site, you need a solution that is both fast and non-disruptive. Our team recently headed to Alexandra Street in Metro Vancouver to clear a stubborn rock obstruction using our specialized “drill and split” method.

The Challenge

The boulder was situated in an area where traditional blasting or heavy hammering was not an option due to the proximity of neighboring structures and the need to maintain a low-noise environment.

The Solution: 2-Man Efficiency

We deployed a 2-person specialist crew to handle the job. This team utilized a high-performance rock drill paired with a pneumatic splitter to fracture the rock from the inside out.

• Precision Drilling: Our crew drilled strategic pilot holes into the granite to dictate the fracture lines.
• Pneumatic Power: By applying controlled internal pressure, the boulder was snapped into manageable pieces without creating ground vibrations.
• Time Savings: The entire process took only 2 hours, allowing the site crew to resume their work immediately.
