I have been working on a site preperation job for about a week now and we have encountered a rock bluff right where the house foundation is going. The rock is a mixture of decomposing granite and hard granite. I have to take it down about 6' in back and 3' in the front. The pad is about 75' by 120' in size.
I can break chunks out with a 315 and I can rip small chunks of it with a 5N dozer. I do not have a hammer on a excavator available. I called all the rental yards and im at least a month out on getting a excavator and hammer. I can get a brand new
D8T with a single shank ripper. Price is the same on both.
I have ripped shale with a older D8k but have never tried granite with a newer D8T. Has anybody ever tried one in granite. I called the blasters and they were 3 weeks out as well. I have a deadline on this project. Any suggestions?:beatsme
