PROJECT DETAILS

No high explosives allowed. The Railroad would not allow any high explosives near their new bridge.  Two old bascule piers in 20’ of water in Galveston bay required removal.  The contractor was desperate for help with the removal phase of this project.  Dykon Blasting used NX Burst charges in conventional drill and shoot fashion to remove a portion of the concrete.
