Innovation
Expanding Chemical Splitting
RSI utilizes non-invasive rock removal techniques designed to minimize vibration, noise, and disruption. Our team carefully measures equally spaced drill sites to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and optimal results.
No Blasting Required
Rock Splitters continuously innovates to meet project constraints. Our Expanding Chemical Splitting method uses a non-toxic expanding concrete to fracture rock in areas where blasting or hammering is prohibited. While this method requires more drilling, it is extremely effective and neighbor-friendly.
