Almost Had A Big Job.


I had bid with a GC to blast a 59,000 SF warehouse inside roof deck and trusses, but GC did not get the job. Was told though I was the best bid out of all and would have got the job, oh well maybe next time.

Re: Almost Had A Big Job.


First thing I was able to do a small test blast at the job site. After figuring our cost for this and then adding profit we came up with the price. It worked out that it would take 300 hours with 4 pots and that worked out to $500 per hour
