  • A montage of the work that will happen on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass this summer, showing you what happens behind the scenes during closures Monday through Thursday an hour before sunset. These closures are planned for an hour, but could take longer due to the nature of the blast and the amount of debris that comes down.

    Oh - thanks for posting this great video by the way. It's really helpful to see what's really going on.

    I love how there are all these self-proclaimed explosive experts judging this video.

      I love how there is a self-proclaimed expert expert 10 year old judging the "self-proclaimed explosive experts" who actually talk sense.

      Btw I’m pretty sure this type of work is called surface blasting

      I'm pretty sure whoever laid out the the blast pattern and was in charge of the shot should have been embarrassed that it was even put on CZcams you have huge Boulders lying there's rocks flying everywhere. My dad was Ray Simmons and I grew up in quarries and Road construction since I was a toddler

    You are not going to use anfo to blast singular rocks. You need something that fractures better, high velocity like dynamite, etc. The charges they used are for pushing the rock, and material so it can be removed.

    Wish we would have checked the web site before going over the pass. It was closed for about 2 hours last Wed night. Stopped in Roslyn and had a beer at "The Brick". Great place to check out the oldest running tavern in the State.

      The old roadway was built on top of rock. In order to start building the new roadway, we had to blast the rock to get down several more feet. The blast not only broke up the rock, but the concrete as well.

    ANFO + hard-rock = flying rocks.
    ANFO lifts, doesn't have a lot of shattering power.
    Dynamite shatters hard rock, has modest lift. Shower of gravel.
    RDX/PETN shatters everything, but not much lift. Shower of dust.
    Then again, if all you have is ANFO...

    My favorite part is when they blow up the big boulders "so they can truck them out".
    How it actually went:
    Earl: "Well Fred, we've got 20 pounds of anfo left over. Blow up random rocks?"
    Fred: "BLOW UP ALL THE ROCKS!"

    Terrible blasting. Way too much flyrock. The rocks from the 1:50 mark on all could have easily been handled by a 800 komatsu. No need to re-shoot them. I think they just wanted some good video. Also to have a road closed for an hr after the shot is a downright embarrassment. We have shots twice the size of those and only have the roads closed for under 10 minutes. 10 minutes is usually a longer closure than normal.

    • @ke6gwf
      @ke6gwf Před 3 lety

      When you have tons of material to remove from the road due to blasting the cliff above the road, it can take a while to simply remove the material.
      And while a larger excavator might have been able to move the bigger rocks, they have to be loaded on normal size highway dump trucks for ten, so they need to be broken down.
      And they aren't going to spend thousands of dollars on additional blasting just for a video lol

      Yeah there were quite a lot of material thrown over some distance; and the shot rock debris was huge. I wonder if the budget called for an existing road replacement as well.

    • @laurencedarabia2000
      @laurencedarabia2000 Před 6 lety +2

      in the enlargement of busy roads the priority goes to:safety at work, safety of things, speed. To speed up, organize excavations with the machines on site. The overloads are used to reduce the size of the material knocked down to use road machinery and not quarry machinery. Road builders are not pharmacists
