Rock Scaling Services for Highways, Railways and Mines
Hire rock scaling crews for loose-rock removal on cut slopes, mine highwalls, and infrastructure corridors. We plan manual rope-access and mechanical scaling around your terrain, access, and operating windows.
Rock Scaling Crews for Difficult Sites
Rock Supremacy provides rock scaling services for transportation agencies, mine operators, infrastructure owners, and general contractors. Our crews carry out manual rope-access and mechanical removal of loose rock, with the method and work sequence matched to the site conditions and project requirements.
The Ketchum-Challis Highway project combined scaling and mesh installation along an Idaho highway corridor. Our US-95 Riggins response brought scaling together with blasting and cable netting after a rockslide. Read the project summaries to see how removal work connects with installed protection.
Discuss slope height, access routes, catchment space, traffic or rail closures, and nearby structures when planning the scope. Where removal is only part of the work, we can coordinate with rock anchor installation, mesh and barrier systems, and the wider rockfall mitigation project. Our rock scaling methods guide explains the techniques.
To request a proposal discussion, share the location, photos taken from a safe position, available site reports, access constraints, and preferred construction dates. Contact our team for planned work. For an active incident, use the emergency response contact.

How We Do It
Proven methods and specialized techniques that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
Draped Mesh Systems
Draped mesh hangs over a rock slope to guide detached rock toward a collection area at the bottom. It requires space for that collection area and access to remove accumulated material.
High-Energy Rockfall Barriers
High-energy rockfall barriers catch falling blocks using flexible nets, support cables, and components that absorb impact. The system must suit the expected rockfall and the space available behind the barrier.
Pinned Mesh Systems
Pinned mesh holds loose rock and soil against a slope using steel mesh secured with nails or bolts. It helps control material before it falls toward the area below.
Rock Bolting
Rock bolting stabilizes fractured, jointed, or unstable rock masses by anchoring steel bars deep into competent rock. By tying loose blocks back to stable substrate, rock bolts improve the overall strength and cohesion of slopes, cuts, tunnels, and vertical faces.
Rock Dowels
Rock dowels are steel bars grouted into rock to help hold fractured sections together. They resist movement as the surrounding rock begins to shift.
Shotcrete (Dry Mix)
Dry-mix shotcrete carries dry material through a hose and adds water at the nozzle as it is sprayed into place. It can suit repairs, remote sites, and work with frequent starts and stops.

What Our Clients Say
We take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients through exceptional service and results.
"It amazes me how quick these guys adapt to challenging and seemingly overwhelming construction situations in the best, and most creative approach. Very smart, dedicated, hardworking group of brave workers in hazardous work sites. Not the type of work just anyone can do! Keep up the good work!"
"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
