Scope of work

The Pandora project consisted of multiple scopes of work for western grater including blasting, shotcrete shoring and tie-back anchors.  The shotcrete shoring system consisted of H piles drilled in from the surface, horizontal whaler beams and tie-back anchors to further support the vertical shotcrete wall. Traditional blasting methods were used to complete excavation to the desired depth.
