Demolition Dave
As one of Melbourne's more experienced rock blasting contractors, we can provide you with a cost-effective solution to assist in the excavation of even the very toughest igneous rock such as granite, granodorite and rhyodacite - the stuff that destroys excavator-mounted hydraulic breakers.

Whether you are building a highway or a driveway, digging a large dam, a back yard swimming pool, laying a service connection or a major pipeline, perhaps you are excavating under a house for a new room or seismic testing in remote areas, we can help make your project a success.Dave has the right drill for every occasion and can drill blast holes from 19 - 102mm diameter.

Our drilling equipment ranges from the small pneumatic hand drill for confined spaces, to the heavy "sinker" for small-medium size jobs or where access is an issue. For larger jobs we have a custom made excavator-mounted drill and a large hydraulic tracked drill is available if required.
