Rock Excavation, Rocky Land Clearing

 
“Today we worked on an area that required non-explosive rock excavation in the area of the north courtyard. We drilled a large area of what appeared to be pinnacle or bed rock. The rock being very steeply sloped and irregular it is hard to be extremely accurate on yards, but the holes (varying from 6 to 10 feet) are easily measured. We drilled the rock on an 18” pattern. We used (39) 11-pound bags (429 lbs.) of Crack Dexpan to fill 183.83 lineal feet of hole today. 1 trackmounted drill w/ operator worked 7 hrs. and 6 men worked approximately 2.5 hrs. to perform the necessary operations. An air compressor was also used to clean rock surface and holes before filling. Jessie Scarborough from S&ME was on site monitoring operations.”.
