Rock is far weaker in tension than in compression — hydraulic splitting exploits exactly that. Holes are drilled to a designed depth and spacing; the splitter then drives a centre wedge between counter-wedges at 400+ tonnes of force, opening a controlled crack from the inside within seconds — no explosives, no impact noise.
With no shock wave, flying debris or heavy vibration, the method is safe millimetres from foundations, in urban and residential zones, inside confined tunnels and even underwater — and the split direction is dictated precisely by wedge orientation, with next to no dust.
Scope of works
- Split-pattern design — hole depth & spacing
- Crawler-rig & handheld pneumatic drilling
- Hydraulic wedge splitting at 400+ tonnes
- Block sizing, breaking & removal
- Trenching, foundations, quarry blocks & reinforced concrete
