Blasting & Boulder Busting
Controlled blasting breaks rock in a precise, predictable manner for excavation, scaling, access road construction, and geotechnical stabilization. When performed by trained specialists, blasting creates clean rock faces, removes hazardous overhangs, and improves slope geometry for long-term stability.
Concrete/Sculpted Shotcrete Finishes
Sculpted shotcrete creates natural-looking rock surfaces on stabilized slopes, retaining walls, and landscape features. Artistic carving and staining transform functional shotcrete into aesthetic elements that blend with surrounding geology.
Cable Anchors
Cable anchors (also known as strand anchors or post-tensioned anchors) provide high-capacity reinforcement for slopes, retaining systems, cut faces, and rock masses. These anchors transfer load deep into competent ground, offering reliable, long-term stabilization.
Debris Flow Barriers
Debris flow barriers are high-capacity interception systems designed to capture fast-moving flows of soil, rock, logs, and water during heavy storms or post-fire conditions. Unlike rockfall barriers, these systems are engineered to withstand dynamic, fluidized debris forces.
