Rock & Concrete Demolition Patterns
For proper application of Bustar expansive grout, determine the necessary hole pattern based on the specifics of your non-explosive demolition project:
- Concrete Demolition
- Selective Demolition
- Rock Demolition
- Boulder Breaking or Concrete Splitting
- Silent Demolition
- Hole Diameter
- Hole Depth and Spacing
- The larger the hole diameter the greater the depth the further the spacing.
- The smaller the hole diameter the shallower the hole the closer the spacing.
- Hole cleaning: The hole must be blown clean of water and drill cutting debris.
- Water temperature, must be correct:
- Water volume: 3L per 22 pound bag, 7.5L per 55 pound bag. Must be accurately proportioned.
- Mixing Disciplines: correct volume of water, to the correct portion of Bustar chemical demolition agent - see instructions

Bustar works for a variety of situations where explosives are prohibited or undesirable.
DTI rock breaking chemicals provide non-explosive demolition solutions for rock wall demolition and wall modification in an existing structure, selective demolition in a hospital facility, concrete splitter work for beam modification, rock-centric quarry or boulder breaker objectives, for example, require careful hole pattern implementation according to strict design control.
