Where Crackit Gets Used
If your job involves breaking hard material and blasting isn't an option, Crackit probably fits. Below is a snapshot of the industries and tasks we supply most often.
Industries we work with
- Demolition Contractors
- Road Construction
- Tunnelling Work
- Blasting Contractors
- Do-it-yourself Enthusiasts
- Stone and rock Quarries
- Marble, Granite, Limestone Mines
- Agriculturalists and Farmers
- Civil Engineering
- Foundation Engineering
- Mining Companies
Typical on-site jobs
- Quarrying of marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, etc.
- Stone cutting and splitting for sizing
- Stone, boulders and rock removal
- Levelling rock substrate for road works
- Excavating trenches for pipe-laying
- Underground excavations in rocky strata
- Demolition of concrete or reinforced concrete objects
- Demolition of foundations
- Demolition of tiled and refractory structures
- Demolition of breakwaters or jetties
- Demolition of concrete concrete poles, towers, walls, etc.
Crackit is especially useful when:
- Nearby buildings or equipment can't tolerate blast vibration
- You need clean pre-splits before lifting blocks out
- Wire-sawing every block is too slow or expensive
- Explosive paperwork, transport, and crew costs outweigh the job itself
Why quarries like Crackit
- Output goes up when you're not stopping for blast clearance every cycle
- Block size stays under your control — less waste at the face
- No flyrock means crushers and loaders stay closer to the working face
- Marginal reefs become workable when breakage is precise
- Gem and semi-precious work benefits — surrounding stone cracks, brittle material stays intact
- Long shelf life in dry storage beats managing dated explosive inventory
- Less hoisting of oversized rubble cuts power and maintenance bills
- Crews stay on the bench — no full-site evacuation before each break
- Equipment near the face isn't damaged by thrown rock
- Overall savings show up in labour, winch time, and cleanup
- Underground fire risk from misfires drops compared with conventional blasting
- Difficult, fractured ground that won't take a clean blast pattern can still be worked
Why demolition crews like Crackit
- No blast noise or debris hitting neighbouring property
- Your breaker works on pre-cracked material — faster cycle times
- Break in stages: one wall today, the next tomorrow
- Safer beside rail tracks, cables, and buried services
- Underwater and confined-space jobs are workable
- Shutdown windows are easier to hit without blast curfews
- Specs that limit impact force are easier to meet
- Tight basements and shafts become manageable
- Removal starts sooner once cracks are visible
- No explosive storage licence to maintain
