Rock Hawg – Surface Mining Solutions
A J Gammond Ltd is currently the only company in the UK operating Rock Hawg surface mining equipment. These machines provide highly effective solutions for bulk rock removal and large-scale construction excavation.
A Rock Hawg can cut through strong, unfractured rock without the use of explosives. The process produces a small, uniform product, eliminating the need for a primary crusher and making handling and transport more efficient.
Key Advantages of Rock Hawg Excavation
- No Explosives Required – safer, cleaner, and compliant with strict regulations.
- Reduced Vibration – minimal disturbance to nearby buildings and utilities.
- Uniform Material Size – improves transport efficiency and reduces processing needs.
- Efficient & Cost-Effective – cuts rock quickly, with less reliance on imported materials.
Key Applications
Construction Sites
- Sites can be dug precisely to design using GPS guidance.
- Excavated material is uniform and easy to transport around site.
- Minimal vibration makes it ideal near sensitive structures or utilities.
Road Construction
- Rock can be graded with little disturbance to the underlying structure.
- Less imported material is needed to bring roads up to specification.
Quarries
- A modern alternative to drilling and blasting.
- Rock excavation is quick, efficient, and possible in areas where blasting is restricted or prohibited.
- Haul roads can be planed, reducing wear and tear on site vehicles.
The Rock Hawg offers a safer, cleaner, and more efficient alternative to traditional rock excavation methods.
