Land Development: Concepts to Completion

Many projects currently under construction require extensive installation of retaining walls. To provide value-added design services to our clients, we coordinate closely with the project's Geotechnical Engineer to determine early on how much surplus rock can be realized and what the anticipated quality of the blasted rock will be.

Working with rock blasting companies, we can then alter drill patterns to create boulders for subbase fills and walls, or smaller aggregate for trench backfill and subbase gravels. Further processing by a rock crusher can produce smaller aggregate for road base and bedding. By modelling the site and understanding the earthworks mass balance, the Islander team can significantly reduce overall project costs.
