PROJECT DETAILS
Arkansas Department of Transportation needed to stabilize a swampy area with a specific gradation and hardness of rock for road construction. Dykon Blasting was contracted to shoot the fill material into a size that would meet Arkansas DOT specifications. A suitable site for this kind of material was selected at the busy intersection of Hwy 71 and Excelsior Road in Greenwood, Arkansas. The blasting area is directly across the street from Greenwood Self Storage and the Greenwood Senior Citizen Center. Directly behind these businesses sets the Excelsior Road church of Christ and to the north and east are several residences. Hwy 71 is a busy divided 4-lane highway with constant traffic. With the help of the Greenwood police department for traffic control and the cooperation of the local business owners and residents, Dykon Blasting completed the blasting in this sensitive area safely and on schedule.
