Founded in 1987, American Rock Mechanics removes rock for construction projects across eastern Pennsylvania, using drilling, blasting, and mechanical methods when blasting is not possible. The company is particularly experienced with difficult sites near existing buildings, utilities, and historic structures, and was among the first in North America to acquire a Darda C20 rock splitter. Its project work ranges from large warehouse sites to tightly constrained urban excavations, with seismic monitoring used to track vibration near neighboring structures.
