Removal

The removal approach physically eliminates the rockfall source zones, which makes it the most effective method in terms of long-term remediation of the hazards, future maintenance costs, aesthetics and other impacts. Strategies include mass rock removal through blasting, excavation or reshaping using methods such as trim blasting, hoe-ramming, boulder busting, scaling with prybars, and other mechanical means of removal, as seen below.
