BAT Construction utilizes a variety of advanced rock breaking methods including hydraulic rock breaking, non-explosive demolition agents (Nonex), expanding grout, and rock drilling services. Whether your project is in a remote location or an urban setting, we deliver tailored, cost-effective solutions with a focus on safety and environmental responsibility.
Trim Blasting
Trim blasting is a precise blasting technique where a series of carefully drilled holes are charged and detonated to remove excess rock, leaving behind a clean, stable final rock face. For over 25 years, BAT Construction has specialized in this method, employing highly trained drilling and explosives experts who use pneumatic and hydraulic equipment and controlled blasting procedures to create safe, stable zones around critical openings.
Our team has successfully executed numerous large-scale surface blasting projects, including complex rock excavations for infrastructure such as the Seymour-Capilano water treatment plant. These operations were completed in close proximity to sensitive environments—such as fish hatcheries, dams, and public areas—demonstrating our commitment to precision, safety, and environmental stewardship.

Blasting
BAT Construction’s drilling and blasting specialists have completed numerous large-scale surface blasting projects to safely remove unstable rock masses from high-angle slopes—particularly in areas where traditional scaling methods using bars and jacks are not feasible.
Our team takes a meticulous approach to ensure the protection of nearby infrastructure, minimize disturbance to surrounding rock faces, and prevent further degradation of the slope. With proven experience operating in sensitive environments—including fish hatcheries, dams, and public areas—we deliver controlled blasting solutions that prioritize safety, precision, and environmental responsibility.

Rock Removal
Rock removal is the process of extracting unstable or obstructive rock to enhance overall site stability and safety. This can range from large-scale controlled blasting operations to the precise removal of individual boulders in urban construction environments. In more delicate applications, techniques such as air bag slab separation are employed for non-intrusive rock displacement.
The primary objective is to minimize vibration, reduce the risk of fly rock, and ensure safe execution—particularly in sensitive or populated areas. BAT Construction specializes in tailored rock removal solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
