Hydraulic breaker demand to prevail

Excavators with hydraulic breakers are used in urban construction projects, road construction, metro projects, etc. In crowded areas, this is one of the most cost-effective ways of excavation as it avoids drilling and blasting which is dangerous, expensive and has many other problems.

Safe Mining

Blasting method used in mining can be dangerous in mines closer to inhabited locations. Abhinay Hatewar explains the advantages of blast-free mining over the blasting method in mining.

New Paradigm in Pipeline Trenching

A trencher can easily excavate in soil, hard rock condition or in permafrost and desert areas. Shantanu Sinha explains the advantages of using trenchers in large-scale pipeline excavation.

Technology can grow in leaps and bounds
