Blasting Through Barriers: How Twincon Enterprises Shapes the Okanagan Landscape
Twincon Enterprises in Penticton is one of the leading earth-moving companies in the Okanagan Valley, with a broad portfolio of projects ranging from industrial to residential developments. Their team of experienced professionals is committed to delivering high-quality services that meet the unique needs of each project they take on.
One key aspect that sets Twincon apart is its expertise in blasting operations. The team of trained and experienced drillers and blasters bring a level of precision to their work that ensures safe and efficient execution throughout the blasting process. The drillers are responsible for drilling the holes needed for explosives, while the blasters handle the placement and detonation of the explosives. This specialized approach allows Twincon to tackle even the most challenging projects with confidence and accuracy.
Safety is always paramount, especially when blasting in residential areas. Blasting mats and vibration monitors are necessary to ensure everything is controlled. Pre-blast surveys are conducted as an extra precaution, and vibration monitoring is critical to follow the frequency limits set by government bodies to avoid damage to surrounding structures.
Traditionally, blasting has been the go-to method for rock removal in construction. However, alternative methods are used when blasting is not an option. One such method is the use of an excavator with a rock hammer, and Twincon has one of the largest rock hammers in the Okanagan. There's also hydraulic rock fracturing, where small holes are drilled into the rock, and hydraulic pressure is applied to split the rock. These alternatives are not just backup options but are part of Twincon's versatile toolkit, allowing them to adapt to the Okanagan's varied geological and topographical challenges.
Speaking of challenges, an upcoming project in the south Okanagan will see an expansion of a current property by 5 acres. This unique project will require a combination of blasting for rock removal and in-fill for levelling, showcasing Twincon's flexibility and ability to provide a comprehensive solution for its clients.
