Green energy or renewables are a fast growing method of energy production. Wind generators and solar electricity plants are being built all across the nation as our society transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Wind turbine generators are constructed on large bases buried deep in the ground for stability. Wind and solar power plants are typically constructed in remote, hard to access locations which require road construction. Blasting is a far more cost effective and reliable method of rock excavation for these types of projects. Construction time can also be reduced using drills for piling holes and fence posts.
Where an access road to a solar wind or wind turbine site could take months to construct, blasting can reduce the road construction time to a few weeks instead.
A typical foundation for a large wind turbine generator is about 80’ diameter and 10 to 12 feet deep. Where a single foundation could take weeks to excavate, multiple turbine foundations can be blasted and excavated every day on most projects.
Solar Energy Facilities may require up to hundreds of thousands of piles to support the large solar arrays. In areas where ground penetration is difficult or impossible, pre-drilling is performed to facilitate the driving of the array support piles. Dykon has a fleet of drills capable of being mobilized for any size hole on any solar project and is able to meet and exceed the most aggressive of production schedules. Our proprietary drill tooling allows us to drill at the highest product rates possible with the lowest percentage of refusals.
When renewable energy projects need to be constructed in areas where there is rock excavation or tough drilling, Dykon Blasting is your best choice. With over 200 years of combined experience and literally hundreds of utility blasting projects successfully completed, we are ready to handle the toughest challenges safely and successfully.
Dykon Blasting is your number 1 choice for a solar pre-drilling or rock blasting contractor.
