Limestone Quarry Blast

[daddy314]

I DIDN'T KNOW I STAYED BY A QUARRY, I JUST MOVED TO GEORGIA AND WAS SITTING IN THE HOUSE AND HEARED A BIG BOOM AND SHOCK THE HOUSE

This is very cool! I am almost done a degree in civil engineering (structural minor), but I think I want to focus on geotechnical engineering... it just seems so incredible.

is limestone quarry water really bad for you?

there is a quarry here that we want to swim in but we've heard bad things!

haha like when you get out of the water your skin will sizzle off.

Not bad mate. If you want to see a good blast type in "aussie quarry blast"

limestone is easy to break though: you can see the steaming sits perfectly still.. I worked with silica: that's a blast..

[molokemp]

how close from the blast was that excavator?? what about the conveyors??

[zepzazemer]

Approx. 150 feet. There is also a 2.0 million dollar mobile crusher that you can't see. Makes for some tense moments but we haven't had any mishapes in 8 years.

@zepzazemer how long does it take a quarry to fill up with water
