Today's shot was for installation of storm drain in a new housing development. Located within 30 feet of a major cross-country fiber optic transmission line on one end, a newly installed sanitary sewer line on the other, and new houses within a couple hundred feet meant needing to control vibration within acceptable limits and preventing flyrock. As well as coordinating with the relevant parties involved, mitigating concerns, and verifying a sound blasting plan.

Overall, I believe this turned out pretty good.

If you have a project where rock is in your way, either for mass excavation or trench, we'd love to help!

Between additional proposed tariffs on Chinese goods (fireworks), the nation's 250th birthday in 2026, and limited availability, next year is going to present quite a few challenges for display companies.

If you are considering sponsoring a firework display in 2026, or are looking for a new vendor to perform at an existing event, we would be happy to discuss your needs, and give a quote that maximizes your budget. The sooner you can lock in a price, the less you will pay next year.

Feel free to reach out via messenger, or contact Josh at (336)-909-9362.

Major outdoor shows cost can cost thousands of dollars per minute on average, according to an industry estimate.

It takes a ton of time, training, and commitment to be able to do what we do, and these guys do so while working their day jobs, not to mention sacrificing enjoying the celebrations with their families
