Trim Wall Blasting

Trim wall blasting is our specialized technique for creating finished rock faces along roadway cuts that will remain exposed for decades. This highly visible work demands precision, technical expertise, and aesthetic consideration that few companies can deliver consistently.

Our trim wall blasting expertise includes:

  • Pre-Split Blasting: Creating clean, stable rock faces with minimal fracturing beyond the cut line

  • Controlled Blasting: Maintaining precise dimensions for roadway width specifications

  • Slope Angle Control: Achieving exact slope ratios required by engineering specifications

  • Aesthetic Considerations: Producing natural-looking rock faces that blend with the surrounding landscape

  • Stability Enhancement: Identifying and addressing potential instability issues during the cutting process

Our extensive portfolio of successful trim wall projects demonstrates our ability to deliver exceptional results even in challenging geological conditions. When the finished appearance and long-term stability of exposed rock faces matter, trust Cragline's specialized trim wall blasting expertise.
