Bruce on Blasting
Nov. 09, 2008

Bruce Bailey with Paramount Drilling & Blasting walks us through loading a hole prior to the blast. This short video shows you what goes into a hole and the process of preparing a site for the blast. This was just prior to the 17,700+ M3 blast on the Rock Slip which occurred on Nov. 09. Following this blast, the muck was removed and the hill was declared stable, allowing traffic to pass two days following after clean-up and confirmation that all movement guages were registering zero.
 
Be sure to see the slow motion of the blast and the blast itself ... as well we highlight the Real Heroes from the Rock Slip
