Rock cut excavations
Scaling, rock bolts, mesh and shotcrete on tall granite faces left after breaking or blasting.
Deep rock cuts, basement excavations, slopes and old water tanks across Hyderabad, secured with sprayed concrete by our own crew. Scaling, rock bolts, nails, mesh and shotcrete, handled by one team.
Hyderabad builds into rock. We make the rock face safe.
Much of Hyderabad sits on Deccan granite, often just a few metres below the surface. The towers rising in Kokapet, the Financial District and Gachibowli go several basements deep, so excavations end up as tall, near-vertical rock faces beside roads and neighbouring plots.
Broken granite isn’t automatically stable. Joints, weathered bands and seepage let blocks loosen over time. We scale the face, bolt or nail it where the joints need it, fix mesh and spray shotcrete, with weep holes so water drains out instead of building up behind.
Scaling, rock bolts, mesh and shotcrete on tall granite faces left after breaking or blasting.
Soil nails and shotcrete through the soil and murrum layers above the rock, in stages as the dig goes down.
Face protection for deep basements in the western corridor, often right beside existing towers and roads.
Shotcrete on cuttings, ramps and embankments along roads and the Outer Ring Road.
Dry-mix guniting to restore cover and stop leaks in overhead tanks, sumps and old concrete.
New facings and repairs on retaining walls and nala walls.
We inspect the rock, its joints and seepage, the soil above it, and anything close to the edge of the cut.
A clear method with bolt or nail pattern, mesh and shotcrete thickness to the design, and a per-square-metre quote.
Loose and hanging rock is removed from the face so nothing falls once work starts below.
Rock bolts or anchors go in where joints need them, soil nails in the upper layers, then mesh across the face.
Shotcrete is sprayed in layers, with weep holes placed where water seeps through the rock.
The face is kept moist in the heat while it gains strength, then checked and handed over.

All of Hyderabad and the ORR belt, including:
Yes. Our Hyderabad office is in Ameerpet – SR Nagar, and our crews work across the city and along the Outer Ring Road, from Gachibowli, Kokapet and the Financial District to Kompally, Uppal, Shamshabad and Patancheru.
Yes. The rock face is first scaled to remove loose pieces, then rock bolts or anchors are added where joints need them. Mesh is fixed and shotcrete is sprayed to seal the face and stop small blocks and water coming through the joints.
It depends on the area, thickness, whether mesh, nails or rock bolts are needed, and access to the face. We quote per square metre after a site visit, so the price matches the actual work.
Fresh shotcrete must not dry out too fast. We keep it moist by water curing or a curing compound, and in peak summer we plan spraying for cooler parts of the day where possible.
Send the site location, excavation depth and drawings if you have them. We’ll visit from our Ameerpet office and send a method and per-square-metre quote.
