3 Hours. 2 Guys. Job Done. ⏱️🪨

When massive boulders hold up work on a busy corridor like 152 St in Surrey, you need a solution that’s fast, quiet, and vibration-free.

Instead of bringing in heavy impact hammers that shake the surrounding ground and risk utility lines, our 2-man Rockbusters crew handled the job in a single morning with zero disruption.

Here’s the 3-hour breakdown:
🔹 Precision Drilling: Pneumatic rock drills setting up controlled fracture lines in minutes.
🔹 Pneumatic Splitting: High-force pneumatic splitters fracturing dense boulders from the inside out—no blasting, no heavy ground vibration.
🔹 Immediate Removal: Broken into manageable pieces and cleared out before lunch.

Fast, safe, and surgical rock breaking.

From the granite slabs of Squamish to the steep walls of the Grand Canyon, breaking rock in remote areas takes serious grit—and the right gear. 🛠️💥

When heavy machinery can’t reach the site, trail crews rely on portable power like a Hilti drill and a small generator to get the job done. But if you want to split stubborn rock cleanly and quietly without the noise, dust, and danger of constant jackhammering or explosives? That’s where non-explosive expansive mortar steps in.

Whether you're carving out world-class hiking trails, clearing boulders from access roads, or tackling a backyard excavation:

✅ No heavy machinery required

✅ Safe for sensitive eco-zones & remote sites

✅ High-expansion force that cracks solid rock effortlessly

Shoutout to the hard-working trail crews building and maintaining the routes we love! 🌲🧗‍♂️

1 Hour. 2 Guys. Trench Clear. ⏱️🪨

Hitting solid rock mid-trench can paralyze an entire excavation schedule. Heavy pounding next to utility lines or pavement isn't worth the risk of structural damage.

On this job off Penticton Street in Metro Vancouver, our 2-man crew was brought in to eliminate an embedded rock obstruction holding up a utility trench.

Here’s how we got the site back on schedule in under 60 minutes:
🔹 Compact Drilling: Pneumatic rock drills down in the trench to lay precise fracture lines.
🔹 Pneumatic Splitting: Applied high-force pneumatic splitters to crack the boulder internally—zero vibration, zero shockwaves, zero damage to nearby utilities.
🔹 Back to Work: Broken down into manageable pieces and cleared out so the utility crew could keep digging.

From arrival to total clearance in just 1 hour.

Taking on solid West Coast granite on Belcarra Bay Road! 🪨🏠

Building a garage on a steep coastal property is tough enough—doing it on solid bedrock surrounded by neighboring homes makes it a precision job. Heavy blasting wasn't an option, so our 3-man crew spent 15 days using low-vibration drilling, hydraulic splitters, and expansive grout to carve out a clean footprint safely.

Check out the full project breakdown on our site to see how we did it:
