Field Report: Hydraulic Rock Splitting in a No-Blasting Zone with Dense Sheet Rock

Project Context:

A contractor was assigned excavation work in a restricted no-blasting zone. The rock formation at the site was extremely dense sheet-rock. Neither hydraulic breakers nor cutters could penetrate the surface. Output dropped to near zero, and the site was at risk of prolonged shutdown.

Site Constraints

• Blasting was strictly prohibited by local authorities
• Sheet-rock thickness and density rendered conventional methods ineffective
• Noise and vibrations had to be minimized due to nearby structures
• The site required a non-explosive method of fracturing rock in controlled intervals

Tool Selection & Process

• SHEPL S1800 Hydraulic Rock Splitter delivering up to 5,500 tons of force
• 128–140 mm diameter, 3000 mm depth holes drilled in a staggered pattern
• Hole-to-hole distance maintained at approximately 1.5 meters
• Mounted on a 30-ton excavator
• 180 seconds per split cycle, executed silently

Outcome

• The previously immovable sheet-rock was split cleanly
• Each operation cycle completed within minutes
• Zero noise, zero vibration, and full permit compliance
• Project timelines stabilized and excavation resumed at full pace

Testimonial

“Shrikrishna’s hydraulic splitter matched every one of our technical specifications and delivered performance beyond our expectations. It transformed our site output and allowed us to stay on schedule without compromising safety or compliance.”
— Mr. Raees Hodekar, Contractor

Field Report: Urban Rock Excavation in Confined Residential Zone

Project Context:

A construction site in a densely populated urban zone required rock excavation without disturbing surrounding structures. Blasting was not permitted, and the narrow lanes restricted large machinery access.

Site Constraints

• Blasting permits could not be obtained
• The site was located in a residential area with vibration-sensitive surroundings
• Access roads were narrow, limiting transport and equipment maneuverability

Tool Selection & Process

• SHEPL S1800 Hydraulic Rock Splitter with compact, portable design
• Splitter transported through congested roads
• Deployed manually and operated with minimal crew
• Enabled rock splitting with zero structural vibration

Outcome

• Permits were not needed due to non-explosive method
• Residential surroundings remained undisturbed
• Rock removal completed precisely within narrow site limits
• Project stayed on track without resident complaints

Testimonial

“The S1800 was easy to transport and operate—even in congested city zones. We avoided permit delays and kept the project moving forward quietly and efficiently.”
— Mr. Satyanarayan Reddy, Construction Company Owner

Field Report: Improving Time Efficiency in Hard Rock Excavation

Project Context:

A contractor working in an area with extremely dense rock saw limited progress using conventional rock breakers. Output was minimal, timelines were affected, and a better solution was required.

Site Constraints

• Traditional breakers could not fracture the rock surface
• Project efficiency dropped to unacceptable levels
• Vibration-sensitive environment required silent operations

Tool Selection & Process

• SHEPL S1800 Hydraulic Rock Splitter selected after evaluation
• Non-explosive wedge system fit into pre-drilled holes
• Break cycle completed in 180 seconds with consistent results
• Mounted on mid-size excavators and operated with minimal disruption

Outcome

• Significant boost in daily output and time efficiency
• High-performance splitting in previously inaccessible rock formations
• Reduced noise, dust, and vibration levels
• Eliminated need for costly rework or additional equipment

Testimonial

“Since deploying the hydraulic splitter from SHEPL, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in excavation speed and output. It handled tough rock with ease and outperformed our previous equipment.”
— Mr. Mayur Kadam, Contractor

Field Report: Restarting Stalled Excavation with Hydraulic Splitting Technology

Project Context:

A site completely halted due to zero output from rock breakers was reactivated after witnessing the performance of SHEPL’s S1800 hydraulic rock splitter on a neighboring project.

Site Constraints

• Zero output from existing equipment on site
• Hard strata rendered conventional methods ineffective
• Delays threatened the entire construction timeline

Tool Selection & Process

• SHEPL S1800 Hydraulic Rock Splitter introduced on-site
• Splitter inserted into pre-drilled holes every 1.5 meters
• 180-second split cycle used across hard rock sections
• Equipment operated silently and without vibration

Outcome

• Excavation restarted within days of deploying the splitter
• High precision rock splitting restored operational flow
• Hard strata fractured without environmental disruption
• Productivity levels exceeded initial benchmarks

Testimonial

“We were stuck with zero output until we saw the S1800 in action. After switching, the performance was immediate and impressive. It broke through where other machines failed.”
— Mr. Vitthal Borde Patil, Contractor
