Energy Projects
 with MD Drilling & Blasting since
the
late '90s for site work from commercial buildings to
condominium developments and
residential projects. We used to
have our own drilling & blasting company,
so we know what it takes
to do it
right. They are
professionals who
are just
so easy to work with!”

I-90 FIX, LITTLE FALLS, NY
SCOPE OF WORK:
The throughway wanted the rock slope stabilized back to the foundation for the radio tower, without impeding traffic.
CHALLENGE:
To fragment the rock so that it could be dug without breaking it to a degree that it would slump into the roadway.
OUTCOME:
We delivered a stable face through careful pre-splitting, excellent drilling parameters and minimal fragmentation.
SCHEDULE:
The MD&B team finished 30% (20 days) ahead of schedule.
SUMMARY:
The throughway geotechnical experts knew what was important, and were pleased that we could provide that end product.
