Applied Geodynamics in Steamboat Springs, CO has developed the Controlled Foam Injection (CFI) method, a non-explosive technique for excavating and breaking hard rock and concrete. This proprietary method utilizes high-pressure foam to fracture rock, eliminating airblast, flyrock, and toxic fumes associated with explosive-based techniques, making it safe for use in close proximity to personnel and sensitive structures.
The CFI method, which employs hydraulic rock drills and specialized units for foam generation and injection, allows for controlled rock removal with minimal damage to the remaining rock. The environmentally friendly process byproducts are biodegradable, and the foam can be used without risk to personnel, requiring no special handling for disposal. With its proven performance and ability to adapt to changing ground conditions, the CFI method is well-suited for a variety of commercial rock breaking projects.
