What is Line Drilling?

Line drilling is a method of rock excavation used by companies around the world. You use drilling equipment to drill a series of holes that are very close together. The holes are roughly 10 cm apart and then are drilled around the perimeter to cut into the rock. The rock will eventually break away at this line. It allows you to seamlessly excavate the area while having precision control over how large your rock fragments are.

Benefits of Line Drilling

There are several benefits that come with performing a line drill at your project site. They include but are not limited to:

Reduce Costs

Line drilling can be faster than traditional blasting. This reduces the overall costs and lowers your project's overhead.

Minimal Disturbances

You'll have minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment and it takes less time. You're not displacing large quantities of soil by excavating the rock this way. As a result, you're able to get back to your projects much faster.

Flexibility

Line drilling allows you to quickly and effectively move the rock to place utilities, pipes and water or sewer lines. You can use directional drilling to clear a space where you need it.
