Kelowna Alternative To Blasting Rock

In the past, blasting was a common way to remove rock from land in Kelowna. However with tighter regulations and greater awareness about its effects on wildlife there are now other options for dealing with this issue that don't involve loud explosions. The method of breaking rock by blasting has a high efficiency and the cost is relatively low, but the associated vibration, flyrock, production of toxic gases since the 1970's, the Western developed countries began to study the safety of breaking rock. This paper introduces different methods and their progress to safely break rock. Ideally, safe rock breaking would have little vibration, no fly stone, and no toxic gases, which can be widely used in municipal engineering, road excavation, high-risk mining, quarrying and complex environment. Mobile hydraulic hammers have been gaining popularity in the mining industry for breaking large rocks and eliminating secondary explosions. The use of these tools may be able to reduce production costs, due largely thanks an improved control over material that is often present when using traditional methods such as dynamite or bombs; additionally there's potential about increasing productivity by not having any need whatsoever on pre-crushing waste processes before getting started with actual crushing activities - all this because better Rock Breaking!
