    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone had ballpark prices for chemical rock breaking?
    Per square meter I'd imagine.
    Contacts would also be great(by pm i suppose?). Only found one company on google and they don't have a contact number :confused:

    Thanks,

    C.

    Any of the larger groundworks company should be able to price this for you, as it's not rocket science.
    The word chemical sounds very scary, but in fact all that is used is a very fast setting cement, which goes off very quickly in the bored hole, gives out a lot of heat and cracks the surrounding rock.
    It's the numerous drilling of holes that's the hard (and expensive) part.
