During the expansion of a terminal building at an airport in India, the excavation encountered hard rock, and mechanical means such as rock splitters, rock cutters with diamond wire rope, and hydraulic rock breakers were deployed. However, the progress was slower than the desired requirement. To achieve the target, the authors provided technical guidance on controlled blasting for the excavation of hard rock at the site. The recommended hole diameter was 38 mm, and the holes were drilled at a spacing and burden of 0.8 m × 0.8 m. The charge per hole was varied and optimized. Non-electric shock tube initiation system was used. Multi-layer blasting mats were employed for noise and flyrock control. The flyrock was restricted within the source itself, and the fragmentation obtained was amenable for direct loading into the dumpers. Controlled blasts were carried as close as 30 m from aircraft during boarding and de-boarding of passengers, and hard rock was excavated at proximity to micropiles by an integrated approach which is elaborated in the chapter. The case study on controlled blasting presented in this chapter is an eye-opener for the entire urban construction industry.
