Are you sure they didn’t bring one of those giant Sandworms from Dune here?

[@hainewnumber3963]

No, graboids from tremors

Perfect execution of trench blasting. Not too much, not too little. When the subsurface is too hard to trench with mechanical means, use of explosives levels the playing field. It would be interesting to read specs; hole space, hole diameter, hole depth, delays, type of explosives, etc.

Bros the expert of trench blasting ☠️☠️☠️😭😭😭

[@SJR_Media_Group]

@@babypuppy9614 Totally agree....

Excellent blasting! - from a lifelong miner in South Africa

[@SJR_Media_Group]

We all love a good blasting video. Most people see the part when the detonation begins. They don't see days of drill, filling, stemming, hooking up wires or det cord. @@andreventer8734

Most of us have to settle for dominoes... Just another reason to get a good education and then get paid for it!

[@Tomhohenadel]

Demolition Dave would approve of this video.

[@stevealbers685]

So that's how Tremors the movie was made.

[@techwatch1228]

Looks like the movie Tremors.

[@OilBaron100]

That looks amazing. I guess you blast it because it is material which is too hard to be removed unblasted by an excavator?

[@claytonwhitman2611]

No, too time consuming and therefore too costly. An excavator can use a hydraulic hammer to chip and hammer out the rock, but that is extremely slow compared to drilling holes and using explosives. So this is much faster, and therefore cheaper, even using the explosives.

[@Iamgroot9170]

From the movie, tremors.

So bad ass 💪🏻💪🏻
